Re: Wow! How does Ted make that call?
I honestly think Ted felt he had Kido beat and put Chris Bell on a mid-pair which he would lay down to a bet. Even if he didn't have Pham beat, he still had the flush draw to fall back on. From Forrest's perspective, the worse case scenario is that the chips go back to Kido, a loose impatient player itching to bluff off his stack, rather than Bell, who strikes me as a tight player who won't spew the chips back as easily. (EDIT: Bell seems to have woken up 3-handed).
Also, Forrest plays the biggest games in the world and is probably not nearly as concerned about moving one spot up the pay schedule as most of us would be in a tournament of that size.
