Childs Doubles Straight Out of the Gate
We told you Lee Childs has been running hot here in Grantville. That was evidenced by a double he received just minutes after taking his seat.
It happened when he raised to 300 and then called a three-bet to 700 from Tam Van Tam. Childs then checked the flop, Tam bet 1,200, and Childs sprung to life with a check-raise to 3,000. Tam responded with a big all-in three-bet, and Childs snap-called off.

Tam:
Tam held a big pair, but it was no good as Childs had flopped a set. Neither the turn nor river helped Tam, and he was left with just 75 in chips after the hand.
Needless to say, he got it in on the very next hand. There was some side action, but eventually a bet from Kathy Clark on the flop isolated her opponent. Tam held for a pair of deuces, but it was no good as Clark had the jacks he held one hand earlier. The turn and river completed the board, and then Tam headed for the exit.
