Vilchez Talks Himself Into Folding Set of Jacks

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

On a board that read {2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{4-Spades} Jesse Vilchez was faced with an river shove from Ryan Yu. The pot already had about 1,700,000 in the middle and Yu had Vilchez covered as Yu's shove was for 3,300,000, which was more than what Vilchez had left.

Vilchez began to talk at a volume that was just loud enough to be directed at Yu but also seemed somewhat meant to be muttering to himself.

"I have jacks. I have a set of jacks" he said as he talked through potential hands that Yu could have.

"I love you man, I love you" he interjected to Yu, in the middle of his deliberation, indicating that he was enjoying the big decision despite the stress of it. Meanwhile Yu covered his mouth with his hoodie and did not give off anything to Vilchez's talk.

"This is like a superhero" added Vilchez just before folding his hand which he said again was pocket jacks. Yu nodded and indicated that it was a good fold as he pulled in the chips.
