Conway and Channing Check It Down

Thomas Conway opened for 700 from middle position and action folded around to Neil Channing, who three-bet to 1,625. It was folded back to Conway, who chucked in a call for a heads-up pot.

Both players then proceeded to check down on the {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop, {J-Diamonds} turn and {6-Diamonds} river. Conway tabled {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for a baby flush and Channing mucked without showing.

Channing and Conway have both had a fairly successful series this year. Channing had a runner-up finish in Event 43: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em and Conway made two final tables, one in Event 44: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em and another in Event 50: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em.
