Probably not paying attention to his stack size or maybe even sitting out? When I reviewed hands in ICMizer yesterday, there was a similar hand, and for sure I did not fold intentionally getting like 5:1 preflop :)

Not sitting out and we just reached the money in this tournament with 10 places paid 😆 probably missed it and tried to fold itm who knows.

This was an extreme example, but its not that uncommon to see people fold in spots, where they are getting the correct odds to call with any two. As Katie Dosier say in the CC 30 day course "if the opponent has a fold button, you have fold equity". Another common mistake is walking a short stacked player in the big blind, when people should be jamming any two cards.

Yes, it was rare to see this, but maybe he got cards he didn't like to play, and thought that he could recover with a few chips! Very difficult but it happens!

Being who it was I can 99% guarantee that he was paying attention.

Very unusual for him to fold that.
