Neil Channing's excellent year has continued in London this week at the second World Series of Poker (WSOP) Europe.

The 2008 Irish Poker Open winner will take part in the nine-man final table of event one tonight, after already outlasting 401 other competitors, Poker News reports.

He will be joined in the last session by Yevgeniy Timoshenko, who is also enjoying the form of his life, having taken down the Asian Poker Tour Macau competition over the summer.

Fuad Serhan, Daniel Nutt, Ian Woodley, John Dwyer, Adam Junglan, Linda Lee and Jesper Hougaard are the other remaining players battling it out for the £144,218 ($266,000) first-place prize.

Numerous big names ran deep in the tournament, but failed to reach the final table.

These include Andy Bloch, Daniel Negreanu and Brandon Cantu who finished 15th, 24th and 27th respectively.

Negreanu led the chip count after day 1a and suggested in his Full Contact Poker blog that he felt he had a good shot at winning a fifth WSOP bracelet.
