Happy days! Cunningham wins fifth

He walks softly. And he doesn't get quite the same pub as some of his more high profile teammates at Full Tilt. But make no mistake: Allen Cunningham's game is loud. And he proved it yet again yesterday, taking his fifth World Series bracelet at just 30 years of age.

Lofty company for the soft-spoken and respected Cunningham, who with his win in Event 13 yesterday - the $5,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em World Championship - bumped himself up into the elite five bracelet club with the aforementioned fearsome four (along with Berry Johnston and Gary Berlang).

The victims this time: One of the toughest final tables yet at this year's Series, including notable pros Jeff Lisandro, Gavin Griffin, Jason Lester, Humberto Brenes and Keith Lehr.

The 30th WSOP cash of his career and hefty $487,287 payday also pushed Cunningham up to third in career WSOP earnings, trailing only the last two Main Event winners, Jamie Gold and Joe Hachem.
