Featured Table: Lee Childs Takes a Pot With Pocket Aces

John Armbrust has the button in seat 2, Philip Hilm raises from early position to 300,000, Raymond Rahme calls from middle position, Childs reraises from late position to 1.1 million, Hilm folds, and Rahme calls. The flop comes {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, Rahme checks, Childs bets 1,000,000, and Rahme goes into the tank for several minutes.

During the silence, a female's scream of happiness is heard from the other table as Lee Watkinson apparently hits a big card in an all-in situation. (Watkinson himself was not the short stack.) At the Featured Table, Scotty Nguyen quips, "That's more money for the wife!" His line gets a big laugh from the audience in the ESPN arena.

Rahme eventually folds, and Childs shows {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} as he collects the pot.
