Neil Andrew "Bad Beat" Channing (born 9 December 1967 in Reading, Berkshire) is an English professional poker player and author based in Battersea, London.
Channing finished in the prize money for the World Series of Poker (WSOP) $10,000 No Limit Hold'em Main Event in both 2004 and 2005.
In the 2005 World Speed Poker Open, Channing outlasted both Korosh Nejad and Michael Greco in his heat before finishing on the bubble in his semi-final event.
Channing also plays regularly at the Gutshot Poker Club.
Before turning professional, he worked as a bookmaker at various UK racecourses, but his prices were more generous than financially prudent.
