Allen Cunningham is, by anyone's standard, one of the most successful poker players to play the game. Playing professionally since he was 18 years old, Cunningham already has 39 career tournament money finishes and five WSOP bracelets, and he's still shy of his 32nd birthday. In 2005 he was named the WSOP Player of the Year. A calm, analytical and friendly player, the California native was recognized in 2006 by his peers as the Best All-Around Player under 35. After his impressive fourth-place finish in the 2006 WSOP, which netted him over $3.5 million in prize money, Cunningham put together an impressive string of victories.
