Evening the Score
You'd think that at this point we'd see the stacks veering towards either All Of The Chips or Zero, but in one match at least the stacks are instead heading towards Even.
Latest to return to Starting Stacksville - Neil Channing and McLean Karr.
Channing raised from the button but Karr reraised. After a long pause during which Channing eyed up his opponent with suspicion, the call was made.
They checked down the flop and turn, the time it took them to check increasing each time - until, with 75,000 in the pot by the river, Karr bet out 42,500. Channing now tanked like a whole fleet of Panzers, but eventually folded.
Channing now leads by 250,000 to Karr's 230,000, and all hopes of a nice leisurely dinner break before the third round of matches are now evaporating...
