Channing Stays Relentless

Posted 2012-06-25 GMT-6 • Level 29: 40,000-80,000, 10,000 ante

Neil Channing raised the button to 175,000 and Henry Lu quickly three-bet to 500,000. Channing took a little longer to make his decision, but eventually four-bet to what looked like 1,300,000. We say "looked like", because Lu had folded his cards before Channing had the chance to push the bet fully out onto the felt.
