Goodison Gets His Revenge, a Near-Knockout

Level 16 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

The table folded around to the blinds, and Lee Childs moved all in from the small. He had {A-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}, and his shove might have worked if Duane Goodison hadn't woken up with a hand like {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} in the big blind. But he did, and he called, only slightly covered by Childs.

The board ran out {K-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}, and Goodison's jacks double him up. Childs is now badly in need of one of those double up things; he's left with just 500 chips.

On the next hand, Childs had to post the 400-chip ante to leave himself with just one, single chip of the lowest denomination in play, T100. He got it in there with {K-Hearts} {Q-Spades}, and he was able to overcome an opponent's {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} to take the first step back towards a respectable chip stack. He's not quite there yet, but he's back to 2,800 now.
