We found Josh Reichard on the button facing a massive shove of 92,300 from a player in the hijack. The pot was only about 50,000 and the board read 
. Reichard counted out calling chips and tried to get something out of his opponent with table talk.
"Wouldn't have much left," he said with a smile, nodding at his remaining chips behind the 92,300.
