Allen Cunningham took down another tournament yesterday when he won the 2007 Vegas Open (NPL) at the Venetian. This was an extremely tough tournament with a great field. Sure there were only 57 entrants, but every one of those players were extremely tough. It was a $15,000 buy-in tournament, and the field was littered with poker greats.
Cunningham bested the extremely tough David Singer in heads-up play to take down the $325,105 first prize. Singer, for his troubles, went home with $203,191. Antonio Salorio, "Toto" Leonidas and Nikolai Evdakov rounded out the top five finishers.
If you doubt how good Allen Cunningham is, look at his resume. He has around $10 million dollars in life-time tournament earnings; he has five WSOP bracelets; he is one of only five players to ever win a bracelet in three consecutive years, and he finished in fourth place at the 2006 World Series of Poker. He also has a couple of WPT final tables to his credit as well. And the scary part is: he's only 30 years old.
Not only that, but Cunningham is an extremely nice guy who is well-liked by just about all of the poker pros. He deserves all the success that he is currently having.
