This is limit, he can't control the amount of the bet only that he makes it. Without a clear and complete hand history, I can't comment on how the person played the 2s but it's perfectly reasonable. In many cases, this could be reasonable because you can reasonably put the pre-flop raiser on a hand like A-K or A-Q and be fairly certain the flop didn't help them. They might have a big pair but they aren't sure to have one. That turn surely didn't help the pre-flop raiser's hand (and this is where I believe the 2-2 hand should have raised and been willing to lay down the hand if reraised -- for the same cost as calling the river but without offering a free card to beat him if he was ahead). Now the river is not great for the 2-2 hand because K-Js, A-J, and QJs all made it with that card. But the pot is large enough that the 2-2 hand is almost compelled to call. The pot should be about $310 and he needs to call $40. He's getting almost 8-1 on this call and it's a huge mistake for him to fold the winning hand here. Crying call, for sure, but once he's gone this far and the pot has become this large... he makes it.
