different line for Lee Childs???
Jerry is so aggressive this would have been a great spot to C/R...how would u of played it 2p2?

Ah, but he didn't yet know just how aggressive Jerry was.
It was still a nightmare how he played the hand, but let's try to imagine we don't have a stone cold read on Jerry when analyzing. This was near the start of the final table.

Your statement that he didn't yet know how aggressive Yang was is not correct. ESPN did a horrid job of illustrating this.
I watched the PPV, and this hand was around hand #11 and Yang had raised roughly 5 of the first 10 hands and won without a showdown. He was clearly playing very aggressively and I said at the time that the QQ fold was beyond horrible.
It is even more horrible when you consider that on the previous day, Yang had raised Child's 10's with A7 and bet $2M on a 9 or 8 high flop. Childs moved all in and Yang folded. Childs already had experience with Yang that Yang was capable of putting a lot of chips in the pot without a big hand.
ESPN's coverage really sucked - where was the rabbit cam to see what the turn and river would have been had Childs called?
