Jerry said "nice call" and pushed his cards in. This means Kalmar should get the pot regardless of what anybody has; he shouldn't have to show his hand either. People who say "nice call" or whatever without mucking and waiting to see the callers hand are dicks as well (bigger dicks IMO but w/e).

is this true?

suppose the cards don't touch the muck and they get turned over.

i thought they had rules in place to prevent collusion that would allow another player to ask to see the cards.

I don't know about the specific rules in place for this tournament but in most games, if you muck at showdown, you forfeit the pot and the other player gets it without having to show. Any player can request to see the hand but if it is a player who was not involved in the showdown, the dealer will typically kill the hand (this is done by tapping it against the muck) and then turn it over. If somebody with cards at showdown asks to see it, it is still live when turned up and can win the pot if nobody shows a better hand.
