Michael Simhai Eliminated in 17th Place ($18,345)

Sep 22, 2010

Rick Bordian raises to 120,000 in middle position, Vichien Siprajim calls on the button, Lee Childs calls in the small blind, and Michael Simhai calls out of the big blind.

The flop falls [8d6c4c] and Childs bets 280,000.  Simhai moves alll-in for an additional 528,000, prompting folds from Bordian and Siprajim.  Childs calls with [9s9h] for the overpair, but Simhai has him bested with [6d8h] for top two pair.

The turn brings the [9c], giving Childs a set and setting off a chorus of gasps throughout the tournament area.  The river is the [Td] and Simhai is eliminated.

Childs appears to be on a bit of a hot streak, picking up two small pots after busting Simhai.

Lee Childs – 3,860,00
Michael Simhai – out in 17th place ($18,345)
