Channing, Stout To Clash?

"Well since our soccer team can't win, us poker players better do it all!"
"Well since our soccer team can't win, us poker players better do it all!"

Neil Channing's table has just broken.

Not only did we manage to locate the quirky Brit, but also find that he was seated to the direct right of Matt Stout.

Why is this blog worthy you may ask?

Well apart from giving you something else to read, it is also to inform you that there is potential chip leader to chip leader clash.

Currently Channing is sitting atop of the leaderboard with an amassed 72,800 while Stout sits two places below with 43,500, and if things fall in a particular way, there could be a two-hundred big blind stack any hand now!
