Hand #28 - Lee Childs Eliminated in 7th Place ($705,229)

7th Place - Lee Childs
7th Place - Lee Childs
Hand #28 - Alex Kravchenko has the button in seat 2, Lee Childs raises from the small blind to 720,000, Jerry Yang moves all in from the big blind, and Childs goes into the tank. He has 4.98 million left behind.

After about two minutes, Childs says, "I call." Yang shows {J-Spades}{8-Spades}, and Childs claps his hands and shows {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. Childs is in a dominant position to double up here.

The flop comes {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, and there is some slowly building applause from Lee's fans.

The turn card is the {8-Clubs}, and the crowd groans as Jerry Yang pumps his fist and jumps up and down as he takes the lead. Childs has picked up a club flush draw, and he can win the hand with a king or any club.

The river card is the {9-Diamonds}, and Jerry Yang throws his hands in the air before he runs to hug his family on the rail. Yang wins the pot with two pair, eights and fours.

Lee Childs is eliminated in seventh place, earning $705,229. The next player eliminated will receive $956,243 for sixth place.
