Lee Childs Secures HPO Charles Town Casino Points Championship
After playing in a number of Hollywood Poker Open Feature Events here at the Charles Town stop - and winning Event #13 ($235 Deep Stack NLHE) - Lee Childs' run to at least a 4th place finish here in the Main Event secured him top honors on the points leaderboard.
Childs accumulated more points during the 10-day series, cashing multiple times, winning once and possibly taking down his first HPO Regional Championship here tonight.
For the accomplishment Childs will be rewarded with a $2,500 prize package, which includes travel accommodations and a coveted seat to the HPO Championship Event at the M Resort Casino Spa in Las Vegas this June.
To cap off the festivities, Lee's father Bill Childs is enjoying a bit of fun as well, as the elder Childs secured 2nd place in the points standings by virtue of his own final table run here tonight. With just eight players left in contention in Event #33 ($235 Deep Stack NLHE), Bill has also earned his own $2,500 prize package and Championship Event seat.
