Resign automatically

How come my opponent managed to resign automatically for a single point, while he was about to lose by gammon?

In single games, when the stake limit is equal to the original stake (or current doubling state), the game will end automatically without asking your opponent’s permission.

Example: suppose, the game has a stake of $2 per point with a limit of $2. In this case, resignations will be automatically approved. If the limit was set at either $3 or $4, and the game was doubled, resignations would also be immediately approved.

In a series (a.k.a. match play), it will be possible only when the resigning player has no more points to lose.

Example: suppose, you are leading 4-2 in a series up to 5. If your opponent then resigns, his or her resignation is automatically approved.
