Vohra Busts
Jonathan Theriault opened to 23,000 under the gun and Raj Vohra shoved for 187,000 from the hijack. Action folded to Matthew Smith in the small blind and after a few moments, he called all in for 165,000. Theriault laid it down and the hands were revealed:
Smith: 
Vohra: 
The board ran out 
, leaving Vohra with 22,000. He wandered over to a nearby table and told Richard Kirsch about the hand.
Kirsch offered some "consoling" words."Well that's what you started the tournament with, so just double up a few times. I only wish you the best Raj, but if you bust we all get another $500."
Kirsch's table got a nice chuckle out of it, as did Vohra who was all in a few hands later against Smith and Theriault. A 
flop came down and Theriault isolated the pot, showing 
. Vohra, with 
, was drawing dead and headed to the payout desk.
