James Rann raised in late position and was met with an all-in bet from Allen Cunningham for about 2,500,000. Rann called and put Cunningham at risk.
Allen Cunningham: A♥3♥
James Rann: A♦Q♥
The flop left Rann in the lead when it scrolled across, 6♥9♦8♦ and nothing changed when the K♠ fell, leaving Cunningham looking for a three but the A♣ fell instead. Rann's kicker played to award him the pot, as both players made top pair on the river.
Cunningham was met with fist bumps from the table, as the five-time bracelet winnner was well recognized.
