Londoners Double

Brian Johnson raises from the cutoff, only to find the small blind moving all in and then Neil Channing moving faster than a whippet on racing day as he shoves his paltry stack all in as well from the big blind.

Johnson folds, flashing the {A-Diamonds} which must please Channing as he shows {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} to the small blind's {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}. The board runs out {7-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} {9-Hearts} to double Channing up, and Brian Johnson lets out a groaning laugh.

"You'll never guess what I had, {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} !"

Meanwhile, at the same time Willie Tann moves all in and gets called with his {A-Spades} {K-Spades} ahead of {Q-Hearts} {9-Hearts}, which is the way it stays on the {5-Hearts} {2-Spades} {10-Spades} {A-Hearts} {7-Spades} board.
