I agree with El D and Technologic. I am curious how much Childs played with Yang in the days leading up to the FT. Once you saw how much Yang overvalued hands and how much he reraised, I don't think you could ever fold that.

From that hand onwards, he ran over the table more or less. At first review (didn't watch PPV) of hand histories, it sounds like he managed to take marginal chances that he could afford while still captaining the table, much like Jamie Gold last year.

He obviously played well leading up to the final table, but I didn't follow his path... did he play very much like this the whole way through?

I think Yang had QQ beat

agree. his AI raise was instantaneous, and from the rest of the ft, he definitely did not come off as the kind of player that would act that quickly with anything that QQ beat.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was something like A5 clubs or some other hand that would be pretty much a coinflip.

I don't think I fold there, but all credit to Yang. Putting other people to tough decisions is a huge part of the game.

I don't think this should have been a tough decision.

IIRC, Yang didn't play like that at all in getting to the final table. The rep on him was weak-tight. I could be wrong.

no you're completely right

other than being a little aggressive, yang hadn't gotten out of line whatsoever during the hands prior

in the wsop thread, the consensus seemed that it was a good fold

Which begs the question, either the deck totally clobbered him early on, or he decided to go totally apeshit and start crushing people. The former is much easier to believe in the latter, which means he could have QQ crushed.

He could also have JJ or TT and believed he was far ahead.
