Re: Verbal Declaration on the end
Although it doesn't cover this exact situation, Robert's Rules of Order states,

Although verbal declarations as to the contents of a hand are not binding, deliberately miscalling a hand with the intent of causing another player to discard a winning hand is unethical and may result in forfeiture of the pot.
