Kai Paulsen Gone Now! Channing in Complete Control
It seems that nobody can stop Neil Channing on his quest to become the 2008 Irish Poker Open champion.
Raising from the button as usual the table bully found a caller in Kai Paulsen.
The flop came 
and both players cauitiously checked. The turn brought 
into the equation and this time Paulsen lead out into Channing. As he has done continuously Channing bumped it up, putting Paulsen to a tough decision. As Paulsen tanked and tanked Channing held his head in his hands….then heard the words “All-in” and immediately called.
Talk about running good - Channing’s 
meant he had turned the nut straight and the unfortunate Paulsen was drawing completely dead with 
for top pair.
Paulsen will leave the Citywest Hotel with an extra E175,000 to his name so don’t feel too bad for him. Meanwhile, who could bet against Neil Channing now? With over half the chips in play and hitting cards like this he is the odds-on favourite for the title.
