Cunningham Eliminated by Farha

Sam Farha was all smiles since the moment he walked on set today. He's all smiles as he leaves the set after dispatching Allen Cunningham. Cunningham was down to 5,000 chips when he open-shoved on Farha with {K-Spades} {8-Spades}. Farha called with {10-Spades} {10-Hearts}. A queen-high flop with no spades was no help for Cunningham. When the {4-Clubs} hit the turn, he could only avoid elimination with a king on the river. The river was the {6-Diamonds}, sending Farha on as the first player to make the Second Round.
