Wilmer Chavira

It took almost the rest of Level 16 to burst the bubble, 10 long hands getting them on the cusp of raising the blinds instead of going to dinner.

But before that could happen, Wilmer Chavira opened the action from the button and the big blind player moved all in for 55,000. Chavira called and they had to wait for the action to finish on the other two tables.

Chavira: AcJc
Big Blind: AdQh

“Everyone is cheering for the jack,” Chavira joked.

The big blind was a heavy favorite to double and it looked good after the 5h2h2c flop. He needed to fade three outs on the river (and another six for a chop) but the Jh river finished his day.

Chavira dragged the pot, the remaining 19 players were in the money, and tournament staff sent them on a 30-minute dinner break.
