Default Re: - WSOP ME FT: Meet the Final Nine -

In the second seat we have Lee Childs with 13.24 million in chips.



Lee shows no live cashes in Hendon Mob, Pokerpages, or Cardplayer.

He's described here as:

Lee Childs (13.24 million) - Childs, software engineer who quit his job to play at the World Series of Poker, is from Virginia and is the leader among the American players at the table. He had the biggest stack most of the time on Sunday, but a bad call cost him the lead.

He knocked out Jennifer Tilly from the ME with pocket rockets.

Lee appears to play primarily online and is pocketfives player acumen53. His record there includes 1st in the FTP 40K guaranteed two weeks in a row, May 21, 2007 and May 30, 2007.

Also from Cardrunners, A player portrait, William Lee "lchilds" Childs:

Lee Childs was raised in Virginia and presently resides in Reston with his wife. He is 33 years old. In mid June of this year, he quit his job with National Geographic to become a full time professional poker player. His specialty has been online MTT's. This is his first World Series Main Event.

His father related his wrestling history to me as an example of his son Lee's competitiveness. He had never wrestled before joining his high school team in 9th grade. By his senior year he only lost two matches during the regular season and avenged both those losses in the state playoffs before taking second place in his weight class in Virginia.

Lee has a formidable stack and is fearless at the table. He has very good instincts and a calmness that is impressive.


(Thanks to Whitewash for the reminder.)
