Championship Day 1B: Taylor Wilson Shoves the River Against Raj Vohra

Day 1B Players Remaining:  252 of 580

Taylor Wilson vs. Raj Vohra
Taylor Wilson (center) shoved the river against Raj Vohra (foreground, right).

With the final board showing 6c4d2d5dKc on the river and roughly 100K already in the pot, Taylor Wilson moved all in from the big blind for 70,000.

Raj Vohra goes into the tank in middle position, and he was in the tank for a very long time.

After a while, Wilson suggested that Raj could leave the decision to the football game on all the screens, and whether or not the Washington Commanders make their first down against the Detroit Lions.

Vohra continues to quietly think, and in the game, there is a minor injury on the next play, causing a delay as the TV broadcast went to commercial. At this point, somebody at the table called for a clock.

A floorperson arrived, and Vohra was given 30 seconds to act on his hand. When the countdown reached zero, Vohra still hadn’t acted, and his hand was declared dead. Wilson won the pot.

As the dealer pushed the pot to him, Wilson set out his two cards and said “I’ll let you pick one.”

Vohra said he wasn’t interested, but Yunkyu Song was seated next to Wilson, and he flipped over one of the cards to reveal the 7h for a possible pair or a possible straight. Vohra didn’t react strongly one way or the other to the seven.

Taylor Wilson  –  178,000  (89 bb)
Raj Vohra  –  187,000  (94 bb)

The tournament clock shows 252 players remaining from a Day 1B field of 580, and an average chip stack around 115,000 (58 big blinds). Action will continue tonight until the end of Level 10 (about 11:15 pm).
