Channing Doubles Up

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Neil Channing had bet 4,500 on the river of a {K-Diamonds}

board only to be reraised all in.

Channing only had about 7,000 behind and took a few minutes into the break to call. Eventually he did though and was shown {Q-Diamonds}

, Channing flipped {4-Clubs}

for a baby flush to scoop the pot.

His friend Nik Persaud was in hysterics at this point, "What's with the slowroll?"

Channing said, "He seemed so incredibly comfortable like he had the best hand..."

Singer's Swan Song

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Tony Cousineau raises preflop from the small blind and David Singer makes the call in the big.

The flop is {J-?}

and Cousineau led out, Singer raised and Cousineau shoved, Singer committed, made the call.

Despite this flurry of action, Cousineau was ahead at this point, with King-high.

Cousineau: {K-Hearts}

Singer:

Somehow both players missed everything on the turn and river meaning that Cousineau's King-high was good for the whole pot.

Lind-Grinning

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Erick Lindgren is in a very good mood, he's just bought a round of Coronas for his table (which includes Shaun Deeb). Everyone seems happy at his table (including the cocktail server who received a $20 tip).

Personally I'd prefer Sierra Nevada to Coronas, but that's just me. (Or Trappist Monk Beer if we were back in Europe)

Lindgren is sitting on a healthy stack of 70,000 at this time.

Not So Cunning-Ham

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Allen Cunningham flat called a raise preflop and saw a {K-?}

The action quickly became, bet, raise, all in, call as Cunningham flipped over {K-?}

but had run into {A-?}

and couldn't spike a miracle 10 on the {8-?}

turn or

river.
