This. I can't see any way that he's not obligated to call. Two folds behind him and both players could argue their action was based upon the call in front of them.
I've seen some weird rulings in different rooms but this feels like a 275 call in almost every room I've ever played in. But, as I've learned over the years, nothing surprises me any more when it comes to rulings in poker rooms
