Watching the EPT recently I was confused by an inconsistency in rulings.

If a player puts too many chips in to make a call, but not enough to make a minimum raise, how should it be ruled?

First Scenario:
Player1 raised to 32k
Player2 3bet to 87k (55k to call)
Player1 wanted to raise but only put another 81k in totalling 113k.
It was ruled to be a Call and player1 had to take back the extra 26k.

Second Scenario:
Player1 raised to 41k
Player2 3bet to 83k (42k to call)
This time the first player meant to call but put in another 75k totalling 116k
But this time it was ruled that a min raise was required and the player was forced to make it up to 125k.

I can't see any difference in the two scenarios and find it strange that there should be such an inconsistency in such a major tournament series.

(In a third case with a bet of 180k and an accidental over call of 270k this was again ruled to be a min raise and had to be made up to 360k).

I understand different venues and different tournament directors can have different interpretations, but I don't understand how it can be different in the same tournament.
