Allen Cunningham claimed his fifth career WSOP bracelet in Event #13, the $5,000 Pot Limit Hold ‘Em event.

Cunningham came from third place to triumph over one of the stronger  final-table lineups of the WSOP to date which also included early chip leader Jeff Lisandro, Gavin Griffin, Humberto Brenes, Keith Lehr, and last year’s champ in the same event, Jason Lester.

Cunningham moved up to challenge for the lead early, and he and Lisandro eventually battled heads-up for the title, with Brenes finishing third.

Cunningham also won a tidy US $487,287 to go along with his bracelet.
