Sonelin on a Frat-Finding Mission

Former chip leader David Sonelin going into a sparring match with Michael Fratty, but only on the felt and certainly not in the verbal sense.
Sonelin opened to 11,500 and Fratty made the call from the small blind.
"Do you prefer I bet or check-raise?" said the Frenchman, relishing the press attention he was getting given this was the last table still to complete its' hand.
Sonelin, looking a little confused by Fratty's apparent confidence, declared he didn't mind and Fratty quickly fired out 10,500 on the 
flop. The slower, quieter Sonelin carefully pushed out a call to see the 
turn.
"Do you prefer I check or bet?" said Fratty, still seemingly confident, but this time Sonelin did not bother to reply and the chip leader fired out 27,000. Again, Sonelin cut out a stack of grey 5k chips to make the call as the pot grew to around 100,000.
The 
came on the river but this time Fratty said nothing, instead he sat there considering his options before electing to check across to Sonelin. The Swede, seemingly unfazed, pushed out 50,000 and the Frenchman, quieter and seemingly devoid of his previous talkative nature folded after about 30 seconds.
