Player Analysis of Allen Cunningham

Description

Allen is a thinking player who reminds me of Erik Seidel. Like Erik, he doesn’t do anything to bring attention to himself. He only gets noticed when he wins, which he has done quite regularly over the past few years. Allen was the 2005 World Series Toyota Points leader with his four final table appearances including one win.
