what dont you get about folding?

I adapted this from the Foxwoods WPT event. Temp Hutter raised to 560K with blinds 50K/100K/10K and Tuan Le called with 87o. In another case (I think 2 hands later), Hutter also raises to 560K and Le calleds with 76o. In both cases, all the money goes in on the flop with Hutter ahead, but Le draws out.

I assume Hutter was making such large raises because Le was calling all his raises. I figure Le thought he could outplay the amateur postflop. Le appeared to be a strong aggressive player, but Hutter seemed to be playing well, and it is difficult to outplay an opponent that much with such a high percentage of the chips in the pot preflop.
