Cunningham Eliminates Fineman; Captures Circuit Championship!

Second Place Finisher Ben Fineman
Second Place Finisher Ben Fineman
Team Full Tilt Pro Allen Cunningham has just eliminated heads-up opponent Ben Fineman from the championship event to claim the 2008 Caesars Palace WSOP Circuit Championship; here's how the hand went down:

Ben Fineman raised 80,000 from the button and saw Allen Cunningham call, sending the two to see a flop of {Q-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. Checks by both brought the {10-Clubs} on the turn. Cunningham led out with 100,000 and was promptly raised by Fineman who made it 400,000. Cunningham then sat still for a moment, before announcing "I'm all in." Fineman exhaled a deep breath, looked down at his chip stack and made the call.

At the showdown, Cunningham tabled {4-Clubs}{5-Clubs} giving him a flush and the advantage over Fineman's {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and made straight. Cunningham had Fineman drawing dead as an irrelevant river {4-Spades} fell, giving the pot, the cash and the title to Cunningham.

Runner-up finisher Ben Fineman will take home $257,637 for his commendable performance.
