I think the ruling was fair. Like there's absolutely no reason for Roland not to table his hand. Everyone's been caught bluffing before...so it's not like OMG so embarassing type moment. Once Roland places his hand into the muck...the hand is dead and the pot should be rewarded to the other player.
I really don't think you can call the other player out for angleshooting. I believe on 2+2, the player wrote, that he has seen Roland quickly muck when caught bluffing before. It's totally in his right to just wait for Roland to show his hand. It might be bad etiquette if he had the nuts and I wouldn't ever recommend doing that, but to ask Roland to show his hand first is totally within the rules.
It was stupid for him to show his hand. Like there was a risk of losing a pot that was his, and no risk of losing it if he just mucked.
