Joe Kuether is an experienced professional who has played in countless tournaments during his career, so hearing him call for the floor is enough to attract our attention.

Kuether - who took down the 9th Annual Arizona State Poker Championship for a $246,161 - had checked on the river with the board showing and his opponent in the next seat over bet out for 5,000.

When Kuether called the bet his opponent tossed his hand onto the muck, but Kuether kept his own hand face down and exercised his right to see the busted bluff before tabling the winner. His opponent did not believe he needed to reveal his holding, but the floor quickly determined that Kuether could indeed request to see the cards he had just beat.

After seeing the come off the top of the muck, Kuether rolled over his for to claim the pot, while beginning a conversation with his fellow pros about the rule and its enforcement.
