Request for a ruling

[Gonso]

This ruling would be correct where I work also, as stated this is a tabled, not mucked, hand.

This may be a long shot but maybe Player A just wanted to see player B cards. So instead of showing a strong hand he fakes the, "you got me" knowing he will flip the cards after Player B shows. I find it strange that he concedes and pushes the cards about a inch then takes the time to show.

as far as the hypothetical question goes. think about players intentions...

"you got me" and pushing cards forward face down is a concession. -if player b mucks his aces without showing, it wouldnt matter what player a shows.

reason 1... player a realizes he has a straight. player b could have mucked a higher straight or same hand for a chop. -youd never know because he mucked when player a conceded.

reason 2...angle shooting is naughty.

since the aces were shown and the straight was discovered, the player with the aces humped himself and the pot was rewarded the to correct hand because cards do read.
