Confusion on the Felt

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

When we walked up to Shane Schleger's table it seemed there was a bit of confusion happening. Schleger and another player were involved in a hand and a floor person had been called over to help resolve a situation involving a possible string bet.

We aren't sure of what exactly happened but it appeared that Schleger had bet after a flop of {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} and that his opponent had wanted to raise. Based on the way he tossed his chips in, he was forced to simply call Schleger's bet.

The turn brought the {7-Clubs} and the player who had wanted to raise on the flop immediately went all in. Schleger folded his hand leaving himself around 18,000 in chips.
