Weird Live Ethics Question
This came up a few months ago. 10-20 NL at Bellagio. I raise JQs in CO, tight asian guy who speaks no english (trust me, i'm not making this up) reraises (amounts don't matter). Flop comes down TTJ and it goes check/check. Turn 7 and he c/calls 300. River 2 and he c/calls 900. I flip my hand over and he disappointingly shows his hand to the guy sitting next to him and flings his cards into the muck.
The second he does this, the guy beside him, whom I've seen around the Bellagio from time to time and seems like some regular oldish Greek fish with slicked hair, practically jumps out of his chair. He starts shouting "why did you fold that?!? he had aces!" (which by the way made me feel a lot less proud of my thin value bet). So the guy keeps insisting that the asian guy must have misread the board and keeps asking him why he folded but the asian guy doesn't understand what's going on. for the next 10 minutes other guy won't stop talking about it.
So, here's the situation: I have no reason to doubt this other guy's story, I sincerely doubt they're in cahoots together. What should I do? Give him the pot? Give him half? Say screw it and give him nothing?
