Anyone who flips his cards up is giving you an advantage, why would this upset you?

My point excactly, but is it fair for the other players in the tourney that i should get such a huge edge? when 2 players is in a pot they wan't too se one guy eliminated but how is this gonna happen if people show eachother the cards? For these reasons I think Robert Ciaffones rule that if any player that deliberately shows a card, that hand may be ruled dead and the player penalized should apply here.

I can probably add that I have spoken to the regular tourney director and he has confirmed that in the future this rule will apply.

I think in WPT it's dead, though someone may follow that more than i do.

This is true I remember a situation in pro vs celebrity WPT tourney. Men 'the master' was playing a pot against Layne Flack and Men moved over to Layne and asked him what he had, Layne showed the cards to Men (im sure Layne was gonna fold anyway). Mike Sexton then commented that according to the rules the hand should be ruled dead, which it was.
