I think it is clear what is being asked here.

Just in case it isn't:

Hands that are not ahead of Qs Qd but have an equity edge:

Ac Kc
Ac 5c
Ac 3c
6c 5c
5c 3c
Qc Qh

Perhaps others.

I know it became apparent that Jerry was playing very aggressive as the tourney played out, but this spot seems pretty different from the aggression displayed elsewhere.

He is raising an under the gun raiser at a full table in the first hand with the entire table left to act. If that's not a strong hand, then he has balls of steel.

If he has anything other than AcKc, AA, KK , QQ or JJ, I'll be stunned.

My gut tells me AcKc, can't wait to find out.

Re: Childs vs Yang POLL
 

Balls of Steel and 44 FTW!

I think he could have AKo. After all, this is also a semibluff if Childs has AK or an underpair.

Agreed, especially if its the Ac. The guy was hyperaggressive early, and couldn't have been ahead with every push.

Re: Childs vs Yang POLL
 

I don't think he had anything at all PF, probably seven-deuce or four-deuce sooooted, and was being uber LAG.

He hit lucky two pair on the flop and pushed.

It was confirmed by Yang in an interview posted by USAToday.com that he had 42o. However, Yang was speaking extemporaneously.

How long was his pause before he pushed? compared to his prior pauses?

There are 169 starting hands. If my poll had 100 choices, 42o would still not be one of them.
