Depends how BB got that ~3400 stack so early in this tourney. If his J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] from UTG hit trip 8's on th flop, etc. then this was probably a good call.
If I haven't seen anything unusual from him except Tight play then I suppose you could lay this down. I'm asking myself why he feels compelled to push right now with a hand that beats me (i.e. - set, two pair or AQ), and I guess you could make an arguement for him wanting to price out the 4-flush and possible OESD on this board.

Lacking an further information, and assuming he amassed his early chiplead through through laggy play (I know, that's a BIG assumption) I'm probably compelled to call.

Pep.

On second thought, please ignore all of this. This might be some of the crappiest advice I've ever given. Anyone who stumbles across it will be dumber for having read it. It's 4am and I'm a little punchy.
