Channing Chipping Away
Level 29
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Neil Channing and Henry Lu took to a 
flop and Lu check-called a bet of 125,000 from Channing here. The 
turn would see Lu again check-call, this time a bet of 225,000. On the 
river, Lu opted to check again and then Channing bet 500,000. That was too much for Lu and Channing took down the pot.

Channing Stays Relentless
Level 29
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Neil Channing raised the button to 175,000 and Henry Lu quickly three-bet to 500,000. Channing took a little longer to make his decision, but eventually four-bet to what looked like 1,300,000. We say "looked like", because Lu had folded his cards before Channing had the chance to push the bet fully out onto the felt.
Channing Grinding Back
Henry Lu opened for 175,000 on the button and Neil Channing raised to 475,000. Lu called and the flop came 
. Channing bet 575,000 and Lu folded.
Channing has regained the chip lead.
