Boxell Takes One Out

Today wasn't Paul O'Brien's day. He started the day with a healthy 48,900-chip stack, but it's all gone now. Leo Boxell consoled his opponent by saying his day was truly unlucky, but the Australian Poker Hall of Fame member will not be sorry as he's managed to get a hold of some more chips.

After a raise to 3,500 O'Brien decided to call in position. Boxell was in the big blind and he three-bet big, to 16,000. After the initial raiser folded O'Brien had to make a decision for his tournament life. After ten seconds he called and risked his 15,100 chips.
