Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
Neil Channing - 15th place
Neil Channing - 15th place

Faced with a raise to 6,200 from James Keys on the button, Barry Drysdale would make the call from the small blind sending the action to Neil Channing in the big blind.

Channing contemplated his decision and pushed his stack into the centre of the table, he was all-in for 19,600. The action was back on Keys, with him making the call. Drysdale folded and the board would be ran out with a tournament life on the line!

Channing: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Keys: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Channing was in good shape to double-up but with a flop reading {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{j-Spades} he would need some help. The turn card was the {7-Clubs} and the river the {8-Clubs}, no good for Channing who is sent home in 16th place earning himself $2,015 for his troubles.
