Several possibilities:

1. Sheer will and determination

2. Tarrlok got scared causing his focus to falter giving Amon time to react.

3. Tarrlok was frustrated over the earlier events causing his skills to not be as sharp.

4. Amon could have excellent control over his body, allowing better resistance to bloodbending.

Those are the most logical reasons.

The more outlandish beliefs include:

1. He's also the Avatar

2. He's a waterbender

3. He's Yakone

4. He's a spirit

5. He's a robot
