Conning Conrad?

[user154502]

This is the second time that Chris Conrad has built up a decent stack. About an hour ago he lost a 65,000 pot and looked like he might tilt what was left of his stack anyway. To his credit he hasn't and is looking in a good situation with 55,000. To his left are a couple of players that don't appear to have been told that you're allowed to raise or fold pre-flop if you're in the blinds.

In the last hand witnessed Conrad raised from the cut-off to 1,525 and was called by both big and small blind. The big blind led 3,000 into the {j-Diamonds} {a-Diamonds} {5-Spades} flop and was called by Conrad who then attacked a check on the {4-Clubs} turn with a 6,450 bet. The American flashed the {2-Diamonds} before raking in the pot.
