Allen Cunningham hosted the FTOPS XV Main Event last Sunday, so I tuned in for his Pro Chat. Like Erik Seidel, Cunningham is smart and witty, but his reluctance to become a public figure has kept his personality carefully hidden. I know Allen a little, not well, and was curious how he would appear in the Chat.

When I’m at the World Series, I wish I was home. When I’m home, I wish I was at the World Series. There are a lot of different types of players in a lot of different situations at the Series. My situation is unique, but it shares elements with most of the thousands and thousands playing this year. Integrating the World Series of Poker into your life is difficult.
It’s tough to play and it’s tough not to play.

I have left the World Series for four days to reclaim my family. (Never mind that I spent most of today playing poker online and watching updates from the WSOP coverage.) I played the $1500 NLHE event on Saturday, played it well, but busted when my K-K ran into a set on a 9-7-3 board. Cruel irony that the Pro Tip I wrote this week is about the power of small pairs.

By the time many of you read this, the matches I’m previewing will be long completed. But read on! The great thing about a competition like this is that anything is possible. When they haven’t played the matches yet, you can imagine anything. While the reality sometimes matches the imagination and on rare occasions exceeds it, every matchup is full of possibility before it happens. This is how the Final 32 shape up:

Tonight’s event is relatively new territory for Full Tilt Poker, No-Limit Hold ‘Em but with $200 rebuys. As with the PLO rebuy event, the initial entries soared over the guarantee, which will of course lead to a prize pool several times that of the guarantee. Expect the pool to triple from its initial size. Tonight’s host is Allen Cunningham, who has been threatening to do some damage in the FTOPS , and may be positioned to snag a big prize.
