The Spot He was Waiting For
In the last two day of play, Allen Cunningham has played exactly two big pot. One occurred yesterday when he was very short and took a race with K-J against a pair of 7s. He won.
The second big pot just went down.
A player who started the day among the chip leaders limped in middle position. Allen limped from the small blind and the big blind checked. The flop came Qd 7c 5s. Cunningham bet out 125. And the big stack called. (This player had made some strange calls earlier and had burned through some chips.)
The turn was the Js. Cunningham bet 300 His opponent called.
The river was the 6d. Allen measured out a stack of red, a stack of black and a stack of orange – 800k. His opponent called in a shot. Allen then showed his set of 5s and raked a huge pot.
With this pot he eclipsed the 3 Million chip mark. There are bigger stacks out there, but there is no player in the field who is more respected or feared.
