Before I start I'd just like to say that I know what I did wrong by not keeping my eye on the game.
I'm not here complaining that I got knocked out by my bad play (I deserved it).
Just want an opinion on announcing your hand when 3 more players are still in a live pot.
I recently played in a freeze out tourney at a local casino.
Location irrelevant.
Buy in irrelevant.
2 to 3 hours into the game
4 players see the flop of A K J rainbow
SB bets 2000 (Loose Aggressive player)
BB calls after lots of deliberation (Loads of speech play)
I'm in seat 4 and I know that, with an all in raise (15K ish), I can get the SB and BB to pass.
I make the raise.
This is where I mess up. I didn't notice that there was a 4th player. In my defence I was tucked in right next to the rather large dealer.
The 4 th player pushes all in behind me (30k ish).
Now this is where my query starts.
Before the SB and BB decide to pass the 4th player announces he has the nuts. Now both players pass.
Cards are flipped over and 4th player shows Q 10.
I've got a weak As
.
No miracles and I'm out.
The question is, can a player announce his hand when there are still 2 other live players without the fear of being warned/punished?
Personally, I think that it should not go unpunished.
Again not interested in raking over my bad play just on rules.
views please.

,who'd have thought that such a simple post would be so ruinous to a mans Sunday.
at Canary Wharf, whilst the move was being implemented their was a discrepancy in the number of people being moved. It turned out that a member of staff we were supposed to be moving had left almost 5 years previously. The bank had been paying them £80K a year.
