Keeping those chips when you know there was a mistake is essentially stealing equity from all the other players in the tournament.
If you knew for certain he had made a mistake it is absolutely your responsibility to make sure the problem is corrected.
Poker players in general need to be more vigilant about enforcing all rules fairly.
i don't disagree, which is why i said i full volume to floorman with dealer and other players to hear, 'are you sure that's correct?' had the floorman been less concerned with his EGO (being questioned by a girl no less) and more concerned with correct chip count, he would have easily seen his mistake. he did restack and supposedly recount before he stomped off in a huff. what am i supposed to do, chase after him and demand he take the chips back?
normally when somebody makes an honest mistake, even in my favor, i will bring it to their attention. and i DID give him the opportunity to recount.
i do understand your position though, which is why i always try to stay during the counts of all the stacks and have caught mistakes several times.
