The Lost-and-Found Dollar

Everyone's experienced that feeling of elation brought about by finding a $20 bill in the back of their trousers they'd forgotten about.

For the more balla amongst us, perhaps it's pulling out a $100 bill snuggled away in some undiscovered confine of your wallet that spells a free slap-up dinner.

Neil Channing, staker extraordinaire, rolls somewhat differently though.

When J.P.Kelly shipped the U.K.'s first bracelet of the series today in the $1,500 Pot Limit Hold'em Event, Channing was part of the cheering British hordes watching on.

He was congratulated on having bought a 15% stake in Kelly, which dumbfounded him.

"No, no I don't have a percentage."

"Yes you do." he was corrected. "I was there when you bought it!"

Channing's share of Kelly equates to close to $30k.

That's a pretty sum to find tucked away under a cushion!
