Cunningham Still Playing Great

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

On a board of {9-Spades}{a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} Allen Cunningham bet out 1,800 when his opponent checked. His opponent called and the two saw a turn of the {8-Clubs}. This time both players checked and the river came the {j-Spades}. Cunningham's opponent bet out 3,000. Cunningham was determining whether his opponent was bluffing or not. He decided his {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} was good and made the call. He was right and his opponent mucked.

Cunningham who is fresh off his second place in Event 12 $1500 Pot Limit Hold-em is heading the right way as he is up to 22,000

Cunningham's Kings No Good

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

We caught a hand with Allen Cunningham, where he 2-bet before the flop to 4,200. His opponent called, making a nearly 12,000 pot.

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, and both players slowly checked down the hand, with the {Q-Clubs} turn and the {7-Diamonds} river.

Cunningham showed {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}, but his opponent showed {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} for a higher 2-pair.

Greenstein Gets His Man to Call

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante
Barry Greenstein
Barry Greenstein

Barry Greenstein and an opponent were heads up on a flop of {2-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Spades} with Greenstein checking first. His opponent bet out 2,000 and Greenstein made the call. The turn was the {5-Clubs} and both players checked. The river brought out the {4-Clubs} and Greenstein fired out 3,000. His opponent took a minute, grabbed calling chips, and tossed them into the middle.

Greenstein flipped up his {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for top pair which was good because all his opponent could muster up was pocket sevens. Greenstein is up to 20,200
