Chan-IN

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

A preflop raising war between Neil Channing and [Removed:335] ends in the former all-in.

Channing is upset that the deck hasn't been changed due to a marked card as he turns over {K-Spades}

, dominated by [Removed:336]'s {K-Diamonds}

.

The board comes {5-Clubs}

and Channing rivers the card to stay alive. [Removed:336] is visibly very frustrated and bangs his hand against a rail, swearing quietly to himself.

What's going to happen next in this topsy-turvy match?

He called all-in with {A-Hearts}

for his last 3,600 against [Removed:336]'s {9-Spades}

. The board came {3-Spades}

and Channing has doubled up to about 7,200 and he's safe, for now.

[Removed:336] In Charge

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

The blinds are now 200/400 in the [Removed:336]/Channing match and, like so many of the matches, there's been a complete change around as Channing has been chipped away at by his opponent.

[Removed:336] has about 16,000 or so now which means that the former Irish Open winner now needs to make a move very soon...

Tabatabai's 4th Pair Is Good

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

With 1,200 in the pot and the board reading {6-Diamonds}

Devilfish fired a pot-sized bet and Tabatabai let out a deep sigh eventually calling as though he was throwing money away.

Devilfish showed a miss {Q-Spades}

which meant Tabatabai's {10-?}

was good enough.

Limped pot in the 75/150 level between JC Tran and David Steicke.

turn.

The river was the {Q-Diamonds}

and Tran now checked, Steicke bet 1,025 and Tran called with some reluctance.

Steicke showed {J-Diamonds}

for the pair that improved and improved. Tran flashed what looked to be a turned baby flush.

Devilfish Moves To WWE...

Let's Get Ready To Ruuuuuuuuuumbbbbblllllllllee!

Devilfish just got a bit annoyed when he (jokingly) threated the dealer if the right river wasn't delivered.

At this point he may or may not have been interrupted by Hulk Hogan challenging him to a match at SummerSlam.
