Normally I agree with the One Player To A Hand crowd but in this case, the inexperienced player tried to showdown his hand. It wouldn't have mattered one way or the other what anyone said at that point nor would it have mattered if the cards were turned over or not. I give the dealer extra credit here for not burying the cards in the muck and for not treating the hand as live either. The Dealer knew that the Floor was going to make the decision and wanted to preserve the hand in case the Floor ruled for the new guy.

I believe that the Floor's ruling may have been technically correct but I don't like it. I think the guy with the 2 should give up the pot every time (I would have - and we wouldn't have needed the Floor either).
