Hey, HE'S ALLEN CUNNINGHAM

Five men, including Allen Cunningham, see a flop of {3-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {5-Clubs}. Action is checked around to the button, and he makes a bet of 1,500. That is enough to scare everyone else out, but Cunningham check-raises all in for a total of 4,950, as the opponent calls.

Cunningham has a pair of aces with a flush draw: {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}. His opponent is ahead, but at risk with a set: {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {10-Clubs}.

The turn gives Cunningham a flush, and the river seals the deal, as the last two cards off are the {4-Hearts} and {10-Hearts}. The pro knocks out a player, and moves his count up to 10,350 in the early going.
