Father of the Child(s)
With experienced touring pro Lee Childs in the field today - he of 2007 WSOP Main Event final table fame - there are two players in action with more than $1 million in live tournament earnings (the other being Chris Moneymaker).
Although Bill Childs may not have seven-figures to his credit, Lee's father is an accomplished player in his own right, holding his own through this HPO Charles Town series to near the top of the series points standings.
Bill has a bit of work to do here today though, after a recent hand saw his stack dip below the 10,000 mark.
The action began when Bill raised to 800 out of the small blind and received a lone caller from the button. On the flop Bill led out for a smallish bet of 600, only to see his opponent flat call in position.
The turn () and river () were both checked down, and Bill tabled his hoping to have the winner, but the other player produced an for top pair to earn the pot.
