Two Cards to Win

After the final betting round, the board read {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} for Andrew Rogers and Benedetto Passantino. Passantino turned over {Q-Hearts} {7-Clubs} and Rogers flashed the {5-Diamonds} before mistakenly mucking his hand.

He claimed that he showed the diamond for the flush and should be awarded the pot, but the floor staff ruled that because he only revealed one card and then mucked, the queen-high hand was the winner. "You need to show two cards to win," explained the staff.
