Second to act, Allen Cunningham opened the pot with a raise to 1,500, and he found three callers, the player to his immediate right (Player 1), Harry Kaczka (button), and Eugene Katchalov (big blind).

It was the 
, and Cunningham fired another bullet worth 7,000 chips. That sent Player 1 deep into the tank, and he would sit still for a long, long time. Someone at the other end of the table eventually called the clock, and by the time the floorman got a few seconds into his countdown, Player 1 raised all in for 27,000 total. Cunningham had 28,000 chips before his bet, and he double-checked his hole cards before sliding the rest of his stack into the middle, putting Player 1 at risk.
Cunningham showed up

Cunningham is up to 66,700 after that nice big double-up pot.
