Sorry for the delay in the results. I was playing in a tournament.
My initial reaction was that it was clearly not an angle shoot as the SB had no further action. He clearly thought that the BB's bet had him covered and he was calling all in. If I were the TD, my ruling would have been that it was t175 more to the BB and he could call or fold and the SB would be given a stern warning that the next time he revealed a hand prior to subsequent action being completed he would get a 10 min penalty.
The TD (who, like I said before, is very experienced.... Nick, for all the bay area people) made a ruling that I hadn't seen before. The SB's hand was declared dead and he got his call back (as if he folded to the bet).
I guess this is a fair ruling since, technically, exposing your hand prior to completing the action makes the hand dead. It isn't punitive to either player.
The BB flashed an ace and nobody seemed miffed.
I think that either ruling is fine, but there should be a standard.
