No Toll-Free Calls With the Nuts

We just rolled up on a hand in which a player bet out on an {8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{K-Spades} board, and his opponent called.

The bettor showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for the Broadway straight. The caller also had Broadway with {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. Another player pointed out that he'd called with the nuts -- which he apparently didn't realize -- and the caller was assessed a one-round penalty.
