Allen Cunningham Marches Toward the Top

Allen Cunningham
Allen Cunningham
This can't be welcome news for the rest of the field--Allen Cunningham is now up to 930,000 chips. He just picked up a big pot when Frank Russo raised to 20,000 and Cunningham reraised to 80,000. Russo called, and when the flop came {J-?} {A-?} {4-?} Russo shipped in his stack holding {A-?} {10-?}. Mistake--Cunningham had flopped a set of jacks and ended up making quads on the river. Russo was eliminated and Cunningham now commands a huge stack.
