How the winner did it ?
In the deciding hand Norton moved all-in from the small blind and Channing called. Channing turns over A9 and Norton flips 55. The flop was a decisive Q/A/10 giving Channing the lead in a tournament deciding pot. The turn K and river A means that Channing’s A9 wins the race and makes Neil Channing the champion.
-------------------------------------previous Channing leading We’re not many hands into our heads-up battle but Neil Channing has asserted his chip lead for those which have been played. Norton’s raises are getting snapped off both pre/flop and on the flop by Channing. The one pot that went to show down saw Channing land a 1,200,000 pot with trip aces. --------------------------------previous Thomas Dunwoodie has been eliminated from the tournament in 3rd place collecting €275,000. Neil Channing moved all-in with A7 and Thomas Dunwoodie called with A8. The board came a dramatic 4/Q/3/9/7 meaning Dunwoodie loses the lead on the river and has been knocked out. -----------------------------------previous Blake gone in 4th We are down to three in the Irish Open. All the chips went in the centre pre/flop with Neil Channing holding Q/6 and Tim Blake holding K/J. The board came good for Channing 9/A/Q/5/Q and the galient Tim Blake has been eliminated in forth place for €220,000. ------ It's all about skill guys updated by btd
