this hand happened at a recent festival.
it was a four handed pot . the board ran out 77J32 with no flushes possible.
it was checked down on the river so the dealer says declare hands.
so i say "one pair" (the pair on the board) and suddenly 2 players muck.
then an old guy shows an ace high and mucks his hand face down very quickly.
the dealer says "is anybody gonna show their hand here?"
so i flip my 10 9 and the dealer passes me the pot.
so the old guy wasnt pleased, so a ruling is called.
the td told the dealer to go into the muck , find the guys hand and flip it.
then to pass the pot from my stack.
i didnt bother arguing as i didnt deserve the pot anyway.
was this the correct ruling. was i in the wrong? bearing in mind this is poker we play.
its hardly a game of honesty!
