Weren't the Black (100) Chips Colored Up Earlier Today?

Shortly before the break, there was an announcement that the light blue (500) chips would be colored up. As usual, they asked that one player at each table buys up all the chips to speed up the process.

At Table #44, one of the players bought up the 500 chips, and then it was discovered that one of the chips was actually a black *100* chip. A floorperson, following procedure, removed the black chip from play.

The player was understandably upset, as he feels that he lost 1,000 in tournament chips. "I tried to do the right thing here, and I got screwed." He's been complaining loudly, but at this point, we're not sure if he'll ever be satisfied.
