Poker rules explained
What happens if someone exposes a card on purpose before the river?
Direct answer
The hand may remain live but the player can face a penalty under tournament rules; call the floor.
How to use this answer
A definitive win, loss, void or refund cannot be established from the question alone. Identify the operator, the exact market, the date and the relevant official result, then check the rules that applied to the bet.
Tournament rules are a useful reference, but a home game or cash game can have different house rules. Make the chip amounts, action sequence and card visibility clear before deciding a disputed hand.
