Default Elezra vs. Baxter HSP...Huh?

I know this was awhile ago, but, uh...

They both flop, sets, get it all in on the turn, and Baxter has the higher set (no redraws for either). The question is whether to run the river once or twice, and...

Elezra says once.

What the &*^%#$?!

when they get it in, elezra ask once or twice, because he thinks baxter is drawing.
after he realises baxter has the higher set he sighs and says "ok once i guess" (or something like that) off course he doesnt suggest running it twice after he knows baxter has a higher set.

I don't know much about poker either I guess. Wouldn't running it twice give him more chances to chop? He could make quads on either river, as opposed to just the one river.

Is the point, then, that there is no way on God's green Earth that Baxter would be dumb enough to run it twice, and he was just resigned to it getting run just once?

See, my general impression was that the "once or twice" question was asked before the reveal, and that was part of the point.

I suppose what happened was that Elezra asked the question and Baxter revealed his cards, and then Elezra must've said "Ok, once then, I guess," or whatever, relatively sarcastically.

For those brainiacs and their first couple of responses to my question, go back and watch it, and tell me that it doesn't actually appear as if it's ELEZRA making the decision to run it just once.

Sorry, I don't know much about poker.

run once: elezra wins whole pot rarely or loses whole pot

run twice: elezra wins half pot rarely, loses whole pot most the time, wins whole pot extremely rarely
