Some of these goofy side jackpots these card rooms run are just plain dumb, they all have side rules that can be hard to follow. Seems easy enough if your going to run a BBJ then why have all the other ones too, quad this and that, straight flush of the day, Aces Cracked, etc.
My guess is that the guy got excited by the best hand promo and just wanted to make sure that nothing goofy happened on the river like the opponent mucking.
Even if it is true that the lower straight-flush would never have folded, that doesn't absolve a person of exposing their cards on the river.
***Rule 15:

This is pretty much the same as discussing the hand while there is still action. In fact, it feels exactly the same.
Which means it is up to Management. And if they don't want to pay, they don't have to pay.
