Broadway For Channing

Neil Channing
Neil Channing

Neil Channing entered the pot with a raise to 1,000 and was met with a call by Scott Seiver before an opponent three-bet to 3,200.

With the action back on Channing he pushed his last 8,050 into the pot to prompt a fold from Seiver and a call from the three-bettor.

Channing: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The board rolled out {Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs} before the dealer dropped the {J-Diamonds} on the river to give Channing Broadway.

"Baby! What happened there? That never happens" added a delighted Channing as he completed his straight on the river to double through to 17,700 in chips.

Chino Four Handed

Over on table 20 we find David "Chino" Rheem in great shape with 55,000 in chips of the 150,000 that are in play.

His table is also four-handed already which means that he is only three eliminations away from making day two and the money.

Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}

The final board of {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} saw Binger outdrawn and sent to the rail.

90 Minutes, 24 Cupcakes, 25 Dimes

Andy Bloch is freerolling for $25,000. All he has to do is eat 24 cupcakes in the next hour and a half without throwing up during or ten minutes after completion.

Erik Seidel and Howard Lederer teamed up on the bet and are splitting it fifty-fifty.

The prop bet started because Bloch was given two boxes of massive cupcakes for his 41st birthday today. The bet has quickly caught the attention of nearly everyone in the room. Phil Hellmuth quickly ran over to twitpic Bloch scarfing down his first cupcake and players at adjacent tables are all giving their two cents.

"I can't wait until he gets twelve deep and gives up," said one player.

"I could to that easy!" blurted Scott Seiver.

We'll keep you updated on Bloch's status and hopefully we wont need a vomit bag.

Great Turn for Gross

Three players, Nam Le, Steve "gboro780" Gross and a player in Seat 10 saw a flop of {J-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

Le checked to Gross who bet 4,600. The gentleman in Seat 10 called and so too did Le.

The turn brought the {2-Diamonds} and both Le and Gross checked. The player in Seat 10 bet 6,000, Le folded and Gross moved all in for about 14,000 total.

"Oh damn," said the man in Seat 10. "I call."

Gross tabled {2-Spades}{2-Clubs} for a turned set of deuces.

"I'm drawing dead," Gross' opponent said as he stormed from the table.

We never saw the gentleman's cards, and after the {Q-Clubs} rivered Gross was awarded the the 43,000 chip pot.

Veldhuis Slipping

Rafe Furst opened to 850 from the cutoff only to have Lex Veldhuis bump it up on the button to 1,700.

Furst made the call to see a {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop fall and a bet of 1,500 follow from Veldhuis. Furst made the call as the {2-Spades} landed on the turn and a bet of 2,300 follow from the Veldhuis.

Taking his time, Furst again made the call before leading for 2,300 when the {4-Spades} landed on the river.

With only 5,100 behind Veldhuis deliberated for near on three minutes before tossing his hand into the muck to let Furst rake in the pot and move to over 21,000 in chips.

Dwan Flushed With Chips

With the flop reading {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} both a player in the small blind and Tom Dwan checked to Matt Woodward who bet 2,000.

The player in the small blind called and Dwan raised to 6,400. Woodward folded, but the small blind called.

The turn brought the {2-Diamonds} and when checked to, Dwan shoved for 23,475. His opponent tank-called showing {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for two pair, and Dwan tabled {Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a flopped flush.

The {10-Hearts} on the river did not fill Dwan's opponent up, and the man they call "durrrr" doubled to 52,000 chips.
