2008 Irish Open Champion Neil Channing has been eliminated from today's event, the feature table dealing out the final blow.

It had been a topsy-turvy day for the recent GUKPT London runner up, Channing regaling your reporter with his tales of woe which involved numerous hands, such as doubling up with {A-?}{8-?} versus {K-?}{K-?}, and later {4-?}{4-?} versus {A-?}{10-?} which made quads, but also doubling up an opponent with {A-?}{9-?} versus {A-?}{Q-?}.

He was slightly more coy about his exit hand, so I can only expect it was rags, but he did say he was short stacked at the time and had to push.

When asked about the structure, Channing reported, "Yeah, I like the structure, but on the feature table we're playing a different structure to everyone else. I don't want to sound like too much of a whinger because TV poker has been very good to me, but we're playing fewer hands than everyone else, and when we lost a couple of players, they didn't refill the seats."
