Akery Robs Channing

Despite coming back a short stack and striking if not fear then mild irritation into the heart of tablemate Karl Mahrenholz ("He'll be moving in over the top of me every hand. It's what he does."), Neil Channing has gained a few chips and seems happily in the swing of things. Just now he took on quieter opponent Rob Akery, getting a check from him on the turn with the board standing {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} {4-Hearts} {2-Hearts} . Possibly this was just to avoid the continual flow of chat mildly attacking him:

"You've showed down only ace-ten and ace-king. It's almost impossible for me not to put you on the nuts. You probably have quad aces..." The {5-Hearts} arrived on the river. "Or a straight flush," he continued without pausing for breath, or pausing before mucking when Akery bet the river.

A flash of a card was granted the defeated Channing with a grin, and I take it to have been a {J-?} as this started him on a different tack: "So sick! How can you bet jacks on the river?"

This question remains unanswered.
