Samson Doubles Through Cunningham

Allen Cunningham opened with a 42,000 raise from middle position and the action folded around to Kelly Samson in the cutoff seat who re-raised all in, making it a total of 175,000 to call. The decision made its way back around to Cunningham, who hesitated for a moment before reluctantly making the call with the {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}; Samson tabled {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and the race was on.

A board of {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{J-Spades}{5-Diamonds} fell in favor of Samson's pocket nines and he successfully doubled through to about 400,000 in chips. Cunningham dropped to about 560,000 with the loss.
