Default Tricky probability riddle

You have a bag with three balls; 2 black, one white.

Your goal is to draw the white ball. First, you take one ball from the bag at random. Then, someone else removes a black ball from the bag. Now you have the option of taking the remaining ball in the bag or keeping your first choice. What's the correct move?
