Tan Folds Turn of Confusing Hand

[user75032]

Every once in a while we see players take a line that is unorthodox. Ivan Tan's opponent did that in a hand that just went down. His open-raise from under the gun was standard, to 700. Tan called and so did the button. It was what happened after the {2-Clubs}

flop that was unusual.

Tan's opponent made a very weak lead of 500 chips into the 2,400 chip pot. Tan raised that bet to 1,600, driving the button out of the pot. The under-the-gun player then made an (illegal) re-raise to 2,600. Nobody at the table seemed to notice that the raise was 100 chips less than would be required for a minimum raise. If Tan noticed, he said nothing, choosing instead to call.

The turn was the {2-Spades}

. Tan's opponent again made a suspiciously small bet of 2,300 chips into a pot with 7,600 chips in it. But it wasn't enough to induce another call from Tan. He folded, preserving his count at 16,250.
