What should be the ruling here?
Two players involved in a large pot at showdown. A scare (flush) card appears on the river. Out of position guy checks his 2 pair. Aggressive guy in position fires a large bet. OOP thinks for some time then calls, obviously frustrated. Aggressive guy, possibly angle shooting, says "Got a flush..."
2 pair guy angrily flips his hand over in front on him and says "Take it". Everyone at the table including the dealer see his hand.
Now for the key moment - another player at the table tosses his cards into the muck before the other hand is shown.
The other guy now says "No...i meant, do you have a flush?". He now reveals 1 pair for what was the losing hand.
"...but I'll take the pot, his cards are in the muck" he says.
What proceeds now is an almighty blowup at the table. The floor is called over.
What's the right call?
