Yay... another Texas poker thread.
There are 4 Texas Card House locations. Like all Texas poker, there is no rake, and they function without regulation, kind of like a home game with an hourly charge.
They have a streamed poker game called "TCH Live", and a weird hand went down:
The Asian guy in the hand, Josh, ran an all-in bluff on the river from out of position, with a backdoor flush possible. His opponent hit the 9-high backdoor flush, but didn't snap call because the amount bet was so much. He had to think about it.
After some talk back and forth, Josh oddly started mentioning the possibility of each showing one card. Of course, this was a stupid offer in the first place, because the lack of heart in his hand would rule out the flush, and would make a lot more hands call him -- something he did NOT want!
Somehow Josh felt that his opponent agreed, and then just grabbed one of the cards and turned it over. The opponent understandably called for the floor, and demanded to be able to turn over one of Josh's cards. Josh obviously didn't want that, and once the non-heart would have been shown, it would have been an easy snap call.
Well, that's what happened, Josh was called, and his opponent won thousands off of him.
Josh then showed up in the YouTube comments section to apologize for the whole mess:

It was also noted that the opponent let Josh mess with his cards and choose which one to flip over, prior to it happening:
