What makes you think he didn't?

Cal: I say "Let's do the side pot first," every single time. And almost every single time, I'm ignored, because no one wants to be accused of slow-rolling. Folks think THAT is important, far more important than listening to those words coming out of the dealer's mouth during a complicated showdown. Sad but true.
Steam: When B tosses his cards in facedown and concedes the pot, he has "mucked". It is not necessary for the cards to touch the muck pile to consider that hand "mucked"...and anyone can ask to see a mucked hand at showdown.
