Fruitful Level for Channing
Neil Channing will be taking precisely 39,875 into the second break of the day after a fruitful last level. On the last hand of the 90 minutes, Channing found himself check-calling a bet of 500 from Peter Jetten on the turn of a board. On the river, however, Channing turned aggressor by leading out for 1,100. Jetten made the call with a grimace, before being shown the bad news: .
"I also had kings earlier," revealed Channing. "I called a raise to 600 from Daniel Negreanu and was squeezed by the big blind to 3,000. He gave up on the 9-8-6 two hearts flop allowing me to take it down with a bet of 5,500 the off-suit 3 turn."
