Strange NL dealer error with stacks- what should floor do here?

Tell your friend to put all his chips in next time. It's this kind of BS move that causes many of the misunderstandings at the table.

This isn't always so easy in a cash game. Does the rest of the table want to sit there and wait for the players all-in bet to be officially binding by him putting what can be 3 or 4 racks of chips into the center of the table? I've seen some 2-5 games where they only keep nickles on the table and in the rack, so you get a $3000 stack and it's quite a bit of work to move those chips in. Players and dealers need to be more conscious of the potential pitfalls that can occur in these situations. I bet both Doyle Brunson and Brad Berman are a hell of a lot more careful with their all-in bets after their mishap.
