Chip in a Chair for Bell
In the last hand before the break, a player in middle position opened to 800 and was called by the player in the hijack, as well as Josh Bell on the button. The flop came down 
as a continuation bet of 1,500 was thrown out by the player in middle position. The hijack decided to min-raise to 3,000, with the decision on Bell. Before he had a chance to make his move, the player in middle position made the call, not remembering that Bell was still left to act.
Bell promptly raised to 7,500 and without hesitation, his opponent in middle position moved all in for 17,200. The hijack got out of the way, as Bell snap-called as the cards were tabled.
Bell: 
Opponent: 
Bell had his opponent covered by 300, and was in great shape to double-up early. He had flopped bottom-set, and needed to dodge a spade or running cards for a straight. The 
on the turn gave his opponent a gut-shot straight draw, and with a sickening blow on the river, the dealer produced the 
to award the pot to Bell’s opponent, as he made his way to the break thinking about what could’ve been.
