Sticky Showdown Conundrum – I’m genuinely confused!

I think the player has to table the hand, if you want to rewrite the rule to take care of this situation then I would say that a player does not have to show a hand if the other players at showdown surrender, the problem is that it does open you up to some form of collusion.

This is an interesting point. If you have time perhaps you can provide some examples (in this case rewriting the rules to say, in effect, "if you go to the showdown and don't properly show your hand (or make your hand available to be shown) you can't ask to see another hand").
