Table 26:

A silent groan went up from everyone situated on and around Table 26 -- everyone, that is, except Neil Channing. Channing moved all in preflop for about 92,000 chips and was snap-called by Stephen Boots. Boots showed {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

against Channing's {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

. The curtain was coming down on Channing after the flop came {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

and the turn was the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

, but Channing found new life when he spiked the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

on the river to win the hand. He doubled up to about 190,000. Boots is down to 175,000.
