After Lee Childs opened for the standard raise from the cutoff, Mark Castaldo three-bet holding the button, making it 25,000 to play.

Childs paused a beat before using both hands to heap four-bet forward, and the wager equated to 41,000 total. After asking for a count of the reraise, Castaldo elected to take a flop, and he flatted to see the {4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs} fanned across the felt.

Without much hesitation, Childs announced himself all in for approximately 90,000 effective, and after tanking long and hard while talking himself through the hand, Castaldo asked a question we don't hear very often on the tournament floor:

"Will you fold if I show?," he asked Childs, obviously preparing to lay his holding down. "I think I'm losing here... I fold. Nice hand Lee."

With his father Bill standing by to sweat the action, Childs calmly dragged the pot his way without revealing his hand.
