Cunningham Deals First Blow

The Thinker
The Thinker
Ben Fineman opened the pot with an 80,000 pre-flop raise and was called by Allen Cunningham. A flop of {Q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades} hit the board and Fineman led out with a continuation bet only to see Cunningham move in over the top for his remaining 750,000. Fineman made the call and tabled a pocket pair of sevens only to find himself well behind Cunningham's {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. The turn brought the {K-Diamonds} and the river {3-Hearts} fell in favor of Cunningham, who doubled up to 1,660,000 in chips.

The double-up left the two contestants just about even in chips.
