Channing More Used to Playing Live than Moorman1; Actually Shows Up

Chris Moorman's is one of the seats still empty as the level gets underway. He's playing Neil Channing, and between them they're probably among the most well-known of the UK's players overall. Moorman tops online MTT leaderboards while Channing's voice graces more televised tournaments both on and off the felt than anyone apart from Jesse May's. There's a lot of poker success between these two, and the possibility for some top-class banter to boot.

Jack Effel came to check on the table and instructed the dealer to move the button every hand, "So he doesn't talk you into anything, like giving him the big blind every time. You've gotta watch this Neil Channing."

"This is Chris Moorman," responded Channing, pointing at the empty seat. "It's easy money. Do you want me to go through that last hand? I'm actually quite happy with my game at the moment."

His phone rings.

"No, I'm not allowed to wait for you," says Channing. "They're taking a blind a minute. Maybe get out of the cab and walk."

He hangs up.

"That was him. He's in traffic. He doesn't know London but he thinks he's near Trafalgar Square. On second thoughts maybe I should have told him to stay in the cab."
