Cunningham Gets It All In

In middle position, Seat 3 raised to 1,200 and was reraised to 5,500 by Allen Cunningham in the small blind. Seat 3, who had more chips than Cunningham, moved all in.

Cunningham, who had 5,100 behind, made the call and showed {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Seat 3 was ahead with {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}.

Things were looking grim for Cunningham when the flop came {9-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades}. In order to win he would need running tens. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}. "A one in 800 shot," tablemate Andy Black exclaimed.

Anticipation surrounded the river card as the dealer burned and flipped the {8-Clubs}. Cunningham was eliminated from the hand and quickly made his exit from the Pavilion Room.
