Allen Cunningham

A player sitting under the gun was all in for his last 1,025. Then a player in middle position reraised to 8,200. Allen Cunningham, sitting in the hijack seat with a stack pushing 50,000, contemplated for 20 seconds or so then made the call. The others folded. Cunningham showed {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

, the UTG player {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

, and the third player {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

.

A queen flopped -- {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

-- putting Cunningham in the lead. The turn was the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

and the river the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

, and Cunningham had knocked out two opponents. He's now up to 62,000, one of the biggest stacks in the tourney at the moment.
