I think others are correct in saying you should not be upset - the best hand won at showdown.

Your opponent's "muck" was questionable. She pushed her cards towards the dealer, but one of them was face-up. Nothing touched the muck. It sounds more like an infraction of the show both cards rule...and I assure you the purpose of that rule is not to punish fish and award pots to second-best hands. I have many times seen dealers handle this rule infraction by remaining silent and waiting to see if both cards are turned up.

I'm curious to hear others' thoughts on the dealer's actions.
