Cunningham Done By Lindgren's Kings

Jacobo Fernandez started the madness with a raise to 725 and Erick Lindgren flat called. The player in the cutoff then re-raised to 2,425 before the action moved to Allen Cunningham on the button. He put in a fourth bet, but it was a small one, as he made it 5,000 to go.

The blinds quickly scampered as did Fernandez, but this was Lindgren's cue to add more chips to the pot as he five-bet it to 17,000. The cutoff player folded but Cunningham committed the last of his stack.

Cunningham: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Lindgren: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} to leave Lindgren's kings standing tall and eliminate Cunningham from the tournament. Lindgren is now up to 35,400 chips.
