Here, I read the OP to say that the dealer tried to pretend to flash cards, but messed up and actually did so, as evidenced by the adverse player correctly identifying the cards. In a low-stakes friendly home game, that’s fine. But in the WSOP? Sorry, give the dealer a gong and get them out of the box.
lol,@ the pass I get for
bolding as a means of text emphasis.
Counselor, just because our headphone wearin' OP thinks he heard the adverse player correctly name "his cards", does not mean necessarily that "his cards" had actually been flashed, Our OP may have already had it in for the old lady dealer, based on the string of other remarks he was so eager to relate. Whatever the adverse player may have said, OP heard "his cards" named.
Even if OP's hearing, through his headphones, was accurate, consider also that adverse player may simply have made a correct read or a lucky guess, stated with certainty in order to tilt OP after folding to him.
(I personally believe the dealer quality in the low stakes cash games during the WSOP is so poor that I will play almost anywhere else in town.}
