The player

With tournament winnings of over $8m Cunningham is one of the best deep stack specialists in the game. He’s currently fi fth in the all-time tournament winnings money list and would have topped the pile by a country mile if he’d won this year’s Main Event. Considering his achievements in the game – he’s already won four WSOP bracelets – it’s almost criminal that he’s not more of a household name.

What’s your advice for playing in deep stack tournaments like the Main Event for the first time?
One thing to remember is that a lot of the people you’ll be playing against aren’t necessarily any better than you.
