I turn over my hand and say, "I have a straight."
He throws his cards in the muck where they are quickly shuffled in.

Cards speak, so since you tabled your hand you could have said "I have a Royal" or "I have a Triple Flush" and it wouldn't matter - you have 44AJ6. If you misdeclare your hand *without* tabling it, then KITN and dead hand result.

As played, you have the best properly tabled hand and thus you win the pot. KITN to SB for not tabling his hand, KITN to the dealer for not correcting you, SITH (slap in the head) to you for misreading your hand.

I know that is how he typed it, but I am guessing he stated what he "had" prior to showing the hand.
