[Runner Runner]

This is an example of how important pot control is too this guy, how important winning without showdown is too him and also how little the cards matter to him. I am not at all surprised that he made that fold even though I could never see myself doing the same thing.

Don't forget, this is a guy who has talked about folding Kings preflop to an allin bet early in a sng if he knew his opponent had a live ace.

Here is an analogy, I don't know it's fair or maybe too flattering but here goes: If you were a poker player who who had the capabilities of extracting enough information from players so that at most times you essentially knew what they were holding and how they would react to your actions, why would you risk your chips when this wasn't one of those times.
