This doesn't seem consistent with the ability to see just the opponent's hole cards. If anything he can see the cards coming too. Would this guy push on the flop if he could see both the hole cards and the board? Why wouldn't he just call the flop and extract the max by letting his opponent fire away on the turn and river? IMO, that hand proves absolutely nothing.
