"Hersh" Eliminates Cunningham; Adds Another Signature to His Game Ball

Another win, another signature for Orel
Another win, another signature for Orel
Orel Hershiser has just moved on to the round of sixteen after besting formidable foe Allen Cunningham in what was a see-saw match the whole way. The final hand saw Hershiser call Cunningham's pre-flop all-in shove holding the {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}; Cunningham tabled a mere {K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Hershiser took down the pot with a pair of tens, sending Cunningham home empty handed.
