Ray Cuny's Run Ends
Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 500 ante
Brady Bullard made it 18,000 and Ray Cuny was the only caller, defending his big blind.
Cuny fired 15,000 at the 
flop, and Bullard called. The turn came the , and Cuny bet 30,000. Bullard pushed in, and Cuny called off for his tournament life with the 
. Bullard had him dominated with the , and after the 
river bricked, one of the best stories in this tournament had ended.
The 91-year-old Illinois qualifier bagged big on Day 1, and even grabbed the big chip lead in the early part of the day today. He played close to two full days of poker, hanging with kids less than one-third of his age, despite suffering from bladder cancer.
In the end, Cuny said he enjoyed the experience, which his family on the rail said was the real reason he came here to begin with. All things considered, Ray Cuny walks away a winner, even as the Hollywood Poker Open Season 4 Championship Event continues.
