Van Fleet Winning Pots on Accident

We heard a call for "Floor!" from across the far side of the room, so we scurried over to see what the deal was. When we approached, there was a board of {4-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {4-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {6-Clubs} on the table, and Jon "apestyles" van Fleet was the subject of the controversy.

An opponent in Seat 10 had bet 3,000, and from what we can gether, van Fleet announced, "Call," but he tossed in 7,000 total chips in the form of one T5,000 chip and two T1,000 chips. This sparked a bit of a debate, and we needed some arbitration from the floor man. He ruled, "I believe his intention was to call. But since he tossed in 7,000, I'm going to rule it as a raise."

Upon hearing the decision, Seat 10 said, "This is so freakin' sad that you're going to win the hand on that." And with that, he promptly folded.
