Cavaliere Flops the Joint to Stay Alive

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

After a 13,000 opening raise from Lee Childs in early position, a short-stacked Brian Cavaliere three-bet shoved for 55,000 more.

Childs went deep into the tank and cut out a stack of calling chips to assess the damage should he wind up second-best.

"Well, if I'm gonna lose, it might as well be to you Lee..." said Cavaliere. "I took you out in the last one."

Childs only grinned in response, before saying aloud "you might've cost yourself some action there."

Eventually though, after a tank that spanned more than three minutes, Childs made a reluctant call with {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, finding himself drawing thin against the Day 1 chip leader's {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

Standing to sweat the flop, Cavaliere watched the {10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts} rain down, giving him a full house and a near lock on the hand. The turn card came {6-Hearts} to leave Childs drawing dead, and the {6-Clubs} came on the river to make things official.
