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.
"Come on, man," TK Miles said from across the table. "If you say anything else I'm gonna call the clock."
"What does that have to do with calling the clock?" Reichard wondered.
"OK, clock."
The supervisor told Reichard he had 25 seconds, and at the close of that 25 seconds, Reichard flicked in his cards.
