Channing tries an interesting angle

Fri, Dec 5th 2008, 19:44 by Reporter

There’s 1200 in the pot and Neil Channing and Roland de Wolfe are the two involved.

The flop:

4 7 5

Roland checks and Neil declares “check” an instant before he releases the 1000 chip in his hand and throws it over the line. Roland confirms with the dealer that the check stands.

The turn the 3 sees the same occur! It would be interesting to see what would have happened if this wasn’t between two mates, or Roland not so laid back a person.

The river is the 2 and this time the checks are by the book. Roland shows A K to take the pot.
