Yes and that’s a frequent point of controversy IME. For some odd reason, players feel like they get punished twice. First, since they were all-in for the main pot, they are eliminated from the tournament and then they are forced to also show down their bluff or whatever they don’t want to show. At that point there’s also the mindset of “I’m out, you can’t tell me what to do anymore” followed by a dealer who uses his arm to block the muck..
In cash games, I have no idea what percentage of rooms still allow for IWTSTH for information but the last time I’ve seen a player ask for it, the floor came over and told him that they usually don’t do that.
