It's tough to make this writer speechless, but I'm close.
Yesterday we interviewed Lee Watkinson on the radio show he talked about making a mistake by moving all in with AK versus an opponent he knew would call. History repeated itself as Jerry Yang raised to 1m and Lee moved all in for 9m. Jerry called with A9 and Lee showed A7. Lee's hand didn't improve and he was sent to the rail in a very disappointing 8th place. Jerry paid no attention to Lee's table image; Lee gave no mind to the reckless abandon Jerry has displayed.
A few hands later, Lee Childs raised from the small blind to 720k and Jerry Yang shoved from the big blind. Childs tanked--then decided to call his remaing 5m with K
J
. Results aside, I have to ask,"What are you hoping for?" A race? It's tough to have someone dominated with Childs' hand, but he was actually in a great spot to double up when Jerry turned over J
8
. But, Yang crushed another player's dreams when and 8 hit and Childs was sent to the rail.
Yang's push not a bad play--he has so many chips that losing 5m wouldn't hurt very much. More importantly, Childs had showed a reluctance to gamble that Yang hoped to take advantage of.
Yang now has over 60m chips.

Seat 2: Lee Childs
