From late position, Clayton Bell opened the action with a raise. Two seats over, the player on the button put in a re-raise, and the action came back around to Bell. After a moment of consideration, he decided to make a stand, sliding all 14,900 of his chips into the middle. His opponent quickly called, and Bell's tournament life was on the line.
