Default Face up muck?

Saw this tonight:

It's heads up when the river comes, bringing the fourth spade and a possible broadway. Player A bets out, as he did on every street. Player B is thinking when Player A says "Your kings are no good - got a set, huh?" Player B 3-bet preflop, raised after a King came on the flop, and raised the turn.

Player B looks disgusted and slams down his pocket kings FACE UP showing that he indeed had the set. After maybe 3 or 4 seconds, he quickly reached for chips and says "call". It turns out that Player B also hit a king high flush on the river. Player A had broadway on the turn.

Player A freaks, claiming that Player B "mucked" because he tabled his cards before calling his bet. The guy really did slam down his cards in typical giant douche fashion, messing up the board.

It looked to me like Player B conceeded the pot thinking he only had 3 kings, but then realized he hit a flush so he quickly grabbed chips to call the bet.

Floor rules that the flush is good and Player B gets the pot.
