Allen Cunningham Eliminated in 17th Place ($26,495)

Allen Cunningham - 17th Place
Allen Cunningham - 17th Place

Steven Silverman opened to 25,000 from middle position, Nikolai Yakovenko called from the small blind, and Allen Cunningham three-bet to 100,000 from the big. Silverman went into the tank, and Cunningham called the clock on him rather quickly. Silverman released.

Yakovenko didn't fold, rather he potted, putting Cunningham all in.

"Since you were a jerk..." he announced before putting his chips in.

Cunningham called, tabling {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. Yakovenko's {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} was behind, but he spiked a set on the {9-Spades}{j-Hearts}{a-Spades} flop. Cunningham received no help from the turn ({3-Clubs}), or the river ({8-Spades}), eliminating him in 17th place.
