Nasty River For Channing

Neil Channing
Neil Channing
Neil Channing just walked up with his exit ticket looking a bit glum. He explained he got involved in a hand he couldn't really get away from.

There was a raise to 5,500 and call so he was priced into calling from the big blind with {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs}.

He flopped a flush and only got action from the intial raiser who was holding {A-Clubs} {Q-?}.

The turn brought no club but did offer a gutshot opportunity for Channing's opponent as the board contained a {10-?} and a {J-?}.

The killer {4-Clubs} came on the river to make the nut flush for him but Channing doesn't know this and is already well committed to the pot so pushes his last chips in and doesn't like what he sees when the call comes.

This year's Irish Open champion leaves the room dejected.
