Cunningham Building his Stack

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Five-time bracelet winner Allen Cunningham entered this event late, but is already making his presence felt. After a preflop raise to 450 and one call, Cunningham called from the big blind, and the players took the flop three-handed. The dealer spread {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, and the preflop raise bet out for 600. Both other players called. All three players checked the {2-Clubs} on the turn, and then Cunningham led out for 2,000 when the {10-Diamonds} fell on the river. The preflop raiser tanked for a minute, and eventually called, and the other player folded. Cunningham tabled {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for a straight, which was enough to win the pot.

On the very next hand, Cunningham raised from the small blind, and received no callers. He is now up to 8,800.
