-finally, it's unclear from the original post. but if i show my hand, and you say "it's yours," then i expect it to be mine. he didn't show down, so it's kinda hard for the cards to speak. the guy next to him just happened to notice he had a flush? that's not cards speak. that's the guy next to him being a busybody. if you show your hand down, then cards speak. if you try to quietly fold, then you can't win the pot... |
Where does it say he mucked? The dealer is the only one allowed to award a pot to anyone. One player conceding a loss does not change that fact. If the guy was folding them quietly they would have been face down, thus mucked and no one could have corrected the read.
Again it is the dealers responsibility to award the pot to the highest active hand, somebody verbally conceding but still showing is still a showdown, and the dealer has to award the pot to the highest shown hand. If both people show hands it is a showdown. Nothing either one of them nor anybody else says at the table matters, the cards speak and the dealer awards it to the highest hand accordingly.
The guy surrendering the pot after the correction should have never been allowed to happen in the first place.
