From Nothing to Something
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Limits: 1,200-4,200
Mark Cunningham grabbed his drink, put on his suitcoat, and slung a backpack over his shoulder. He figured his tournament day was done.
In an all-in hand with two callers to beat, Cunningham figured he was in trouble. But the board ran out 2♠3♦8♥9♣Q♦.
The scoop wasn't likely, since he didn't have a low. With K♠9♠10♥3♠, Cunningham had two pair, which is rarely good in this game. But it was this time.
In the very next hand, Cunningham was at it again, this time heads up against Burzaco, having gone all in on a flop of K♣J♣7♣.
Mark Cunningham: A♦Q♥5♣3♣
Alejandro Burzaco: K♦K♥10♦2♦
Cunningham's flopped flush with the two little clubs in his hand, held through the turn-river 6♦2♠. And, again, Burzaco didn't make a low hand.
