From what I can tell he will first show what he used last then what he will do next. If you are having trouble try waiting at least that worked for me.

Seconded that the hand shown is not what Handaconda will use. I've been trying for the past 10 minutes to beat him with that method and it has typically resulted in a draw or lose.

Umm, the showing of it’s next hand isn’t true!
