Cunningham, Welko Join Million-Chip Club
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Eric Cunningham opened to 26,000 as first to act, and David Collins moved all in on his left. The rest of the table got out of the way, and Cunningham made the call.
David Collins: A♣Q♥
Eric Cunningham: J♠J♥
Collins was flipping for his tournament life, and Cunningham improved to a full house on the K♣9♥K♥J♣3♦ board. That sent Collins to the payout desk, while Cunningham collected his seven-figure stack.
At a nearby table, RGPS Ambassador Craig Welko was raking in another big pot to remain among the chip leaders.
