Not the Nuts, But Definitely Nutty

Five WSOP bracelets tend to win one a bit of respect. Or fear. Or what the French call... I don't know what.

Allen Cunningham raised to 1,200 from the button and the player in the big blind called. Both checked the {2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop. The turn was the {2-Hearts}. The player in the BB bet 2,200, and Cunningham called.

The river brought the {K-Diamonds}. The BB player checked, and Cunningham bet 4,500. His opponent called.

Cunningham showed {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for the rivered flush. His opponent turned over {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for tens full of deuces. Not too much out there that could beat that.

After having been up around 60,000, Cunningham now has about 45,000.
