Any eight will win!

I really don't think the one player per hand rule applies once all action is complete.

Apparently, you're not understanding the relatively simple fact that action is not complete until the pot is awarded.

Obviously I'd be pissed if say a 3rd spade came out on the river and some guy goes "there's the flush" because that could affect the action I receive.

I'm pissed whenever someone who is NOT INVOLVED IN THE HAND (as in the OP's case) says anything about the hand that could affect it.

However in this case all action is complete and F.R.M. is just saying any 8 makes a straight. He's not costing hero any bets here as all the money is already in the pot.

He's not in the hand - why don't you get this? The only people who have any business discussing the hand prior to the awarding of the pot are the players who still have cards and the dealers. Not rail birds, not other players, no one else.

As for the case where the hands are tabled, if a mistake is made awarding the pot it's everyones responsibility to point it out.

No. You're adding something here that wasn't present in the case that was being discussed. In your example, the hands are already tabled, whereas in the OP, the statement from a person not involved in the hand *caused* the hand to be tabled and the OP lost the hand. There's a big difference.

F.R.M. should have S.T.F.U.
