Cunniff Spikes Ace on River to Stay Alive
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Nicholas Smith raised from middle position, the player directly to his left three-bet jammed and Gerald Cunniff came over the top for 67,500 from the cutoff.
Action folded back around Smith who snap-called and all three hands were tabled.

All In Player:
Smith was ahead with his cowboys and nothing changed after the flop hit the felt.
The turn gave the player at risk the nut flush draw but the river came a black
, giving Cunniff the massive pot as he held the better kicker.
