Liddell Outflips Opponent
Action folded around to James Liddell in the small blind who raised to 2,000. The big blind responded by three-betting to 7,500 only to see Liddell move all in. That sent the big blind deep into the tank as he counted the 20,000 or so remaining chips he would have left were he to fold. Eventually he did commit the rest of his stack to put himself at risk.
Big Blind Player: 
James Liddell: 
Though no comment was made, it did appear that several players at the table were at the very least taken aback by how long it took the big blind to make the call. Regardless of that fact, however, the at risk player would need to win the most classic of poker races to double up and survive. That outcome became less likely following the 
flop. Neither the 
turn or 
river provided the necessary broadway card for the big blind player, sending him out of the tournament while Liddell collected a sizable pot to go along with the elimination.
