Childs Play
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 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.
