Almost a Big Blind Special

We just witnessed an interesting situation with two random short stacks moving all in, and Maksim Shuts in the big blind folding his cards. The two short stacks then revealed their cards - {k-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and {5-Spades}{5-Hearts} - and Shuts quickly grabbed his cards which were yet to hit the muck and turned over {9-Spades}{2-Spades} pretending to still be live in the hand. The dealer quickly grabbed the cards and mucked them as the table got a chuckle from the attempted maneuver.

However they roared when the flop landed {9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts} which would've given Shuts a full house! It didn't stop there as the turn was the {2-Diamonds}! The river bricked and the kings take it down as Shuts simply shook his head.
