Tony Dunst moved all in from the cutoff for his last 120,000. Sean Dunwoodie was in the big blind and went into the tank. He mentioned that his instincts told him that Tony D was weak, so he called.

Dunwoodie: K-Q
Tony D: K-10

Dunwoodie's instincts were right and he had Tony D dominated. The board ran out 8-7-6-3-Q and Dunwoodie won the pot. Tony D headed to the rail in 42nd place.

And the Slowdown Continues...

With 42 players to go in the PokerNews Cup Main Event, the action has slowed down to a snail's pace. It seems like many players are chosing to play passively, as the big blinds are getting a walk more often than usual. Passive and tight play seems to be the norm. When a player decides to raise preflop, the raiser usually takes it down on the spot. There have not been too many flops, and if there happens to be a rare flop, the aggressor has been winning the pots uncontested.
