"Captain" Takes Chip Lead

"Captain" Tom Franklin has roared to the tournament chip lead at the break after taking down a huge pot in a battle of the blinds. The board read {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} with Franklin showing {Q-Spades}{3-Hearts} to crush the {Q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} of his opponent.

"Aww shucks!" exclaimed his opponent as he headed to the exit with Franklin now sitting with 78,000 chips.
