They should make an official rule in most rooms to not show down your cards until the dealer announces "showdown please". I understand the dealer announced check, but if the last player wouldn't have just flipped over his cards, when the dealer was saying showdown the mp would have had a chance. I would have had to seen the situation, but it seems like the last to act was not protecting his hand. Dealer confusion is going to happen all of the time, usually its the players not caring how the game is being run and not the dealer.
