Interesting hand on Poker After Dark. Hellmuth bluffs on the river, and Bellande reluctantly calls. Hellmuth says, "You got it. Good call." They all wait for Bellande to flip his hand over, but he refuses. He wants Phil to muck his cards, so he can then muck his own cards, and take down the pot. He doesn't want the table to see what he called Phil with... but Hellmuth is saying he needs to flip his hand over in order to win the pot.
I think by most casino rules... Bellande isn't required to flip it over in order to take down the pot... Hellmuth (or your opponent) mucking their cards first is sufficient.
But, among players, I think it's expected that you flip your cards over... so the question is more about poker etiquette.
Who's right?
