Hansen's Confused Call

[user67765]

Gus Hansen opened the action with a pre-flop raise to 1,125 from early position and the player to his immediate left made the call.

The flop arrived {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

{10-Spades}

and both players checked. The turn was the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

and Hansen fired a bet of 1,625 to which his opponent called. The river landed the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

and Hansen slowed down and checked the action to his opponent who tossed all of his small-denomination chips into the middle for a 1,875 bet. Hansen raised his eyebrows and seemed confused by the action and bet amount. He did the math and eventually shrugged his shoulders as he dropped his chips into the middle for a call.

His opponent flipped up {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

which is not the hand that Hansen expected to see as he reluctantly tossed his cards into the muck.
