Lyric Duveyoung Eliminates Allen Cunningham, Doubles Thru Phil Hellmuth

Lyric Duveyoung has been pushing all in with weakish hands and showing the table, but when he pushed with pocket tens after Phil Hellmuth limped Allen Cunningham called for the last of his chips. Hellmuth snap-called and showed {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}, while Cunningham tabled {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {3-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {3-Clubs} and Cunningham was eliminated while Duveyoung doubled through Hellmuth. Phil wasn't thrilled about the result, saying he knew Duveyoung was going to push and that's why he just limped with his Big Slick.
