Allen Cunningham spike a queen in big hand

August 29th, 2008

At the 6 handed high stakes poker table is Allen Cunningham and Eric Liu. Allen raises to $600.00 and Eric Liu reraises him to 2k. Allen Cunningham then four bets him to $5,800! Eric Liu re-raises to $12,600 and in what I think is a questionable raise, Allen raises to 29k. I think this is defiantly a tourny play. The only thing that calls him here is AA KK or AK, so why not just call the 12k and see what the flop is? Eric Liu then leaves the table in disgust as I would.
