Hi, can people give me their opinions on what "should" have happened here?

Local "friendly" game, £10 buy-in, £10 re-buys up to 9:30, play to finish. Middle of the game 4 players remain after the blinds. Flop comes down 2s, Jh, 4d. P1 goes All-in (short-stacked) all 3 others call. Turn is 5h, all check. River is Qc, P2 & P3 check, P4 pauses a long time, then asks if the other two had checked (there's a lot of chit-chat and noise going on, on and around the table). P1 [U]thinks [/U]P4 has checked so flips his cards over showing a straight. P4 calls foul saying that he hadn't made his mind up yet and that P1 showing his hand had materially affected his actions. His argument was that he [I]might [/I]have bet when he was in with a chance of the main pot, but as he couldn't beat the straight he wasn't going to bet for a possible side pot. P1 had the best hand overall

On the night the pot was split 4 ways - I don't think that was right.
What do you think?

I think that 
[LIST=1]
[*]P4 was being a bit pedantic for a friendly club game
[*]P1 should have verified the hand was over before showing his cards, if he didn't he has to take a penalty
[*]P1 later claimed the dealer had said that all had checked - I guess that makes it the dealers fault, but the dealer wasn't a current player so couldn't be penalised.
