NLHE Tournament

Blinds 400-800

UTG Folds

UTG+1 announces “raise to 1,500” and places that amount in chips toward center (mistakenly thinking blinds are still 200-400)

Dealer states minimum raise is 1,600 and reminds player blinds are 400-800.

Player then says “Ok, then I raise all-in” and places remaining stack (3,500 total) in center.

Dealer does not allow this; only allows minimum raise to 1,600 and makes player pull back 1,900.

Question: Was the player allowed to raise all-in or was he obligated and limited to only make the minimum raise as the dealer instructed?

I'm sure this has come up before in this forum, but probably not this exact scenario so thanks in advance for your input.
