Ruling?
If not otherwise addressed by room rules:
If the hand is shown, best tabled hand wins.
Not killing a hand for OPTAH.
Will issue warning/penalty to player(s).
It's also possible that player on right (POR) isn't correct. Maybe he is just messing with player A? Maybe he made a mistake in reading the hand/board.
If the dealer, who hasn't yet mucked the cards, proceeds to muck the cards. Then AA gets the pot.
If the player is able to grab and show the cards, best tabled hand wins.
If the player directs the dealer to show the cards... well, I just don't know if a dealer can show them, or if that at least tells the dealer not to muck them.
