What was going on with that hand between Clonie and Tony?

With the blinds at 150/300, Clonie makes it 900 from the button with AA and Tony calls in the BB with Q6.

Flop is Qxx with two spades. Tony checks, Clonie bets 1200, Tony checkraises to 3000, Clonie calls.

Pot is now about 8k, Clonie has only 12k behind, Tony covers.

Turn is a red K. Tony checks, Clonie thinks and eventually shoves. Tony calls. WTF?

1) If Tony is calling a shove, why did he check the turn? To induce a bluff? Clonie hasn't bluffed once all day. She's the tightest player at the table by a factor of a million.
2) Why was Tony so confused over her bet size? Any pot-sized bet from Clonie will commit 2/3 of her stack, so she might as well shove. She can't even bet 3/4 of the pot, since that's half her stack. Any bet from her is committal, hence her slight overbet of the pot.
3) Why would he put her on spades when she raised PF and bet the flop and turn? Wouldn't she be scared of Tony's checkraise and check behind on the turn looking to catch a spade or an Ace?

That hand really sucked and Clonie was lucky to double up in that spot because nobody else at the table pays her off so easily.

Was it just me, or did Ted Forrest seem butthurt that Tony G lied to him. That was pretty awesome.

Tony G. was so sure she had A-J of spades or something only slightly better, that he just couldn't let his pair of queens go. Although, because he called with his Riverdancer (low kicker... thanks Dave Foley),perhaps he was more afraid of being bluffed out by a woman on tv? Calling at the end when a king hit on the river surely looked like a stupid play on his part. I think he was sending a message to Clonie that he won't be bluffed by her,especially on tv.

Clonie played the "I'm just a girl" role quite well,but Tony must know she's at least a half decent player and probably had him when she fired on the river.

After that hand, Clonie got over confident and so fixated on passing Jesus for the lead, that she gave away many of her chips by playing weak hands and making poor calls.

Thankfully, she eventually got rid of that stupid looking white cowboy hat that covered up her nice blonde hair. You go girl!

Actually, starting in week 3, Nejad has really toned down the commentary. The first two weeks, he was absolutely awful, but he changed after that. Fewer sarcastic comments, less talking over the players. I think he does a very good job now.

In his defense, nobody talked in the Champions episode, except for when Jamie Gold tried way too hard and made me sad.

Default Tourney format with 2050/4100/17 level

Everyone starts with 5000 chips (7x500, 13x100, 5x25, 3x17, 24x1)
Levels:
100 200
150 300
200 400
300 600
500 1000
800 1600
1000 2000
1500 3000
2050 4100 17
2500 5000 500
3000 6000 1000

No coloring up. No betting 1 or 17 chips unless all in or anteed; 1s are only for changing 51 for 51.

It is ridiculous for PAD to leave the 25s on the table. Did Clonie get her 50 back from Tony?
