Exposing The Bullets Too Soon

[user76023]

With the board reading {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

, Sorrel Mizzi showed his hand of {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

before his opponent opened his cards. The latter then chose to muck but Mizzi wanted to see what he had been up against.

However, after a ruling, he was told that because he (Mizzi) had turned over first instead of waiting, his opponent now did not have to show and could muck his cards instead with no-one able to request to see them.
