Final Table Bios: Seat 8, Neil Channing (199,000)

Seat 8 - Neil Channing
Seat 8 - Neil Channing
Neil "Bad Beat" Channing is 40 years old but insists he looks younger. The Londoner tells us that he staked nine other players in this tournament "and watched them be embarrassed to be knocked out long before this old-school pro." Once a bookmaker and sports bettor, Channing now plays poker full-time. Channing has dozens of final tables to his credit in events throughout the U.K. and has already cashed seven times at the 2008 WSOP, all in no-limit and pot-limit hold'em events. His largest career win came this past March at the Irish Open, where he took down the Main Event, winning over $1.2 million. This is his 15th WSOP cash and his first final table.
