Can you fold a pair?

[user22113]

Danish star Martin Wendt just made the call of the tournament so far.

Jeff Lisandro limped in on the button for 150 and Wendt completed the small blind. The player in the big blind made it 550 more and only Wendt called.

The flop came {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

and both players checked.

Turn: {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

and the big blind bet 1100. Wendt called.

River {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

and Wendt check-calls another 1750 with {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{5-Diamonds}

, just bottom pair which was good enough against his opponent's unimproved {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

.

Wendt then apologized and blamed the Internet for his being a calling station.
