When is a muck not a muck

A game of texas holdem: All cards have been dealt and the result is a straight on the table. The pot will be split by both players. One player throws his cards in face down and is called for mucking his hand and the pot goes to the other player. Is that the right call?

Hi Roger

Yes, it's a right call. The result would even have been the same if there was a nut straight on the board. If a player mucks his hand, he also gives up the pot. No matter what the cards are!
