I recently had a situation where a dealer made a very blatant mistake and I wasn't sure how to react.

For example, say I received a 9,6 and the dealer drew a three card seventeen. The dealer motioned to push my hand (I just tried to act cool like it was the right play) then proceeded to move around the table. Then she picked up the cards and just before she put them in the tray (but they were all in one pile) she realized she may have made a mistake and spread them all out again and caught her error and took my chips. So what should/could I have done differently to keep my money? At what point is it OK for me to pull all or part of my pushed bet back? After she signals the push? After she picks up my cards? I guess even if I pulled it all back and she realized she made a mistake they still could have called upstairs to see what my bet was and made me pay, correct? Should I have just picked it up right away and headed for the door? Thanks for the advice.
