Folded to Neil Channing in the small blind, he raised it up. James Mackey called in the big blind and a 
flop was dealt. On the flop, Channing threw out a continuation bet and it was enough to take down the pot.
Tom Alner has had a good start back from the dinner break, already managing to double his stack. Alner got it all-in preflop holding 
and was up against the 
of James Mackey.
The 
was about as good a flop Alner could hope for and when the turn and river bricked out, he took the down the double.

Mackey didn't heed the advice and raised to 220,000. Channing called and the turn came . Channing checked and Mackey bet 360,000. Channing took a good long time to consider his action. He counted out calling chips but then elected to fold his hand.
