Featured Table: John Armbrust Eliminated in 18th Place ($381,302)
Lee Childs has the button in seat 9, Ray Henson limps under the gun for 100,000, Childs limps from the button, John Armbrust raises from the big blind to 700,000, Henson folds, Childs thinks for a minute before he reraises to 1.7 million, and Armbrust quickly moves all in for 5.04 million.
Lee Childs goes into the tank for several minutes, counting out the amount of chips it would take to call the bet to see how it would affect his stack. He eventually calls, showing {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. John Armbrust shows {A-Spades}{K-Spades}, and he's a dominant favorite to double up here.
The flop comes {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, and the crowd reacts loudly as Childs flops a club flush draw to give him extra outs.
The turn card is -- the {10-Clubs}! Lee Childs turns an ace-high flush to clinch the pot worth 10.32 million. (The meaningless river card is the {7-Diamonds}.)
John Armbrust is eliminated in 18th place, earning $381,302.
Break is coming up...

OK, can we at least agree that Childs' play was sub-optimal?
