So I was just wondering has anyone seen this happen before?
Last week at a tournament. Shove, reshove, third guy (let's call him X) hems and haws and then folds. Showdown and there's a T on the board. X claims to his neighbor that he folded TT (which was better than either of the other players' holdings and would have won the hand even without making a set)
Other guy doesn't believe him.
While dealer is shoving the chips to the winner X grabs his hand on top of the muck and shows.
Other guy at the table calls the floorman over and complains. X gets a three hands suspension and warned that he will be banned from tournament if he does it again.
Any mucked hands are off limits. You should have called the floor on the first occurence IMO. At the very least the dealer should have asked you if it was OK to show your cards (which still would sound extremely weird to me).
