Cunniff Spikes Ace on River to Stay Alive
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Nicholas Smith raised from middle position, the player directly to his left three-bet jammed and Gerald Cunniff came over the top for 67,500 from the cutoff.
Action folded back around Smith who snap-called and all three hands were tabled.
Gerald Cunniff: 
Nicholas Smith: 
All In Player: 
Smith was ahead with his cowboys and nothing changed after the 
flop hit the felt.
The 
turn gave the player at risk the nut flush draw but the river came a black 
, giving Cunniff the massive pot as he held the better kicker.
