Re: Player turns up hand. You make the call.

However, there were opportunities even after the hand had been mucked for this dealer to simply ask the player if they wanted to call the river raise. JUST ASK!! Point out the raise and ask!!

Of course you are correct that this is what the dealer should have done. Of course half the time that I ask I get some snotty answer such as " of course I'm folding what are you stupid, I can't call with that." (inevitably this comes from a paleyr who actually is stupid enough to call with that anyway.
I've never really understood why players get so upset when a dealer asks to clarify action to avoid a mistake. Sometimes I think players want the dealer to make a mistake just so they have something to gripe about.
