Channing Chipping Up

Neil Channing is slowly grinding away at Michael Hauptman, currently taking his once huge disadvantage to a near equal equation.

Not too many huge hands have been shown down, but rather Channing has been talking his way up the chip leaderboard taking down pot after pot after pot.

Winner on Table 20

Peter Traply's comeback is complete as he has just busted Scott Desveaux. It was all in preflop with Traply's {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} facing up against Desveaux's {A-Hearts} {4-Clubs}.

The board ran {5-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {5-Spades} {Q-Hearts}.

We're down to four players spread over two tables now.

Winner on Table 23

Jeff Frerichs just busted Derek Williams to win his table. After a long battle it took two big hands matching up to end it.

Frerichs' held {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} to Williams' {A-Spades} {K-Spades} on a {5-Spades} {3-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} board.
