Ruling I Won But Have Never Seen Before

[Hamish McBagpipe]

Surely covered before, but I've never seen a dealer not give someone a chance like this.

Casino Rama (N. of Toronto) 5-10. Me and one other at river. He bets, I call. He says, "I rivered a straight" (beats my trips) and then he puts the one needed card for his straight on top of a down card and puts it past the line, not mucked. I put my cards past the line, face down, then decided to turn them up for no particular reason. Dealer takes my cards puts them up top and mucks the other guy's cards after turning the one up card down. Dealer pushes the pot to me. After kerfuffle dealer explains that there has to be a winner for every hand and my hand was the first he seen. Fine, but I've never seen a dealer not say either, "Show 2 cards", or "Turn em over", or even himself turn over the other card when some idjit does this, or even other players yell out, "Show both cards!" Oh well, I won a decent pot but I don't usually see them be so strict. Maybe more like this at higher limit but it seems to be about the same at least as far as 20-40 around here as far as I've seen.
