Stayin' Alive

He may not be donning flares, platform boots and permed hair, but Neil Channing is still stayin' alive at the felt in champion grinding fashion. At no point today has he boasted a big stack, but like always, he's picked his spots with the aptitude of an acne-ridden teenager and managed to keep his head just above water as each level passes.

On my last outing into the battlefield, Channing was all in, to the tune of 15,800. A flurry of folds led to the big blind, who thought for an age before finally folding {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} face-up and giving the Brit a suspicious glare. Channing showed {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} to maintain his image.

In a way, I wish he'd been called, because Channing was being massaged at the time, and as I passed post-hand, I was provided with the ungodly sight of crevice Crescent.
