Channing takes out Laak

Fri, Nov 9th 2007, 21:21 by Reporter

A big hand on table 1 where Neil Channing takes on Phil Laak. Neil has bet the flop of Q 10 5 and is called by Laak. When the 4 falls on the turn Channing bets another 1500 but Laak re-raises another 6000, leaving himself just 2500 behind.
There is a bit of a dwell up from Channing who decides that he’s going to go with his original read that he was ahead on the flop and that the 4 can not have helped Laak. He re-raises, Laak is obliged to call, and Channing was correct to think he was winning with Q K There are still cards to avoid though as Laak has 8 K for the flush draw.
No help for the drawing hand on the river though and Laak is out. Neil Channing builds his stack up to 42000.
