The Hand-for-Hand Stall

On one table, a monster stack had raised it up and the decision was left on the big blind. The big blind was just casually riffling his chips, smiling, and allowing the clock to tick down with a knowing glance to his opponents.

It was obvious that he didn't have a hand of any kind and most of the tables in the room had seen their latest hand completed, so it seemed unusual for said player to be stalling during hand-for-hand when it provided him with no added benefit.

This is the Main Event bubble, so perhaps he was thinking 'better safe than sorry', but if two players bust on the same hand, then it matters not who met their demise first. They would both share 747th place money.
