"He's ALLEN CUNNINGHAM!"

[user66118]
[user66118]
Opening the pot from the button, Allen Cunningham raises to 70,000. Max Pescatori folds in the small blind, but Jonathan Depa is not so easily pushed out. He asks for a count and considers his options for a moment, before announcing "Raise pot." The raise is just about enough to put Cunningham all in, as he has 214,000 remaining in front of him. After a few minutes, he puts the rest in, and Depa calls the small remainder. The hands are turned up:

Cunningham: {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs}
Depa: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

Cunningham is at risk and in deep trouble. The flop comes {4-Spades} {5-Spades} {2-Spades}. The turn is the {8-Diamonds}, opening up another couple outs for the pro. Wouldn't you know it, the river is the off-suit {7-Clubs}, making Cunningham his straight, and doubling him up to a healthy 580,000. Depa, meanwhile, watches as his chips are counted down, and is almost insulted when he gets his rebate: just 11,000 chips with which to keep playing.
