Cunningham Cut Out

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Allen Cunningham's nightmare start to the WSOP continues with another elimination.

Earlier, we caught the action on the turn between Cunningham and John McKinney on a board that read {4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} with a pot worth 3,200 in chips. Cunningham led out for 2,500, but McKinney quickly pushed all in. Cunningham called, tabling {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}, but he was behind McKinney's {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

The {9-Spades} blanked out on the river, leaving Cunningham with just 500 in chips, which he shipped into the middle a short time later, again holding {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. He found three callers, including Marc Dupré and McKinney, so it was three-handed into the sidepot on a flop that read {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}.

Dupré checked to McKinney, who led out for 925, forcing the other player to fold. Dupré called, then both players checked down the turn of the {5-Clubs} and the river {7-Clubs}. McKinney showed {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} but the {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} of Dupré were best, sending Cunningham to the rail.

McKinney is now up to 9,700 while Dupré is not far behind with 9,600.
