Busquet Doesn't Want to See the River

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

We walked up to Olivier Busquet's table to see him in the middle of a three way pot on a flop of {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. It was checked to Busquet, who fired out 200. Only one player called, and the turn brought the {a-Clubs}, putting four clubs out there. His opponent checked again, and this time, Busquet fired out 400. His opponent grabbed the calling chips, and after 30 seconds of thought, stuck them in. This prompted Busquet to immediately fold his hand, which caused laughter by some at the table, and confusion by others.

The dealer confirmed with Busquet that he knew he was called, and Busquet said while laughing "Thank you for double checking I appreciate it I just didn't want to bother continuing in the hand." After that, the whole table started laughing, as the pot was handed over to his opponent. Despite giving up on that hand, Busquet is doing fine for himself so far, up to 5,525 from his starting stack of 4,500.
