Dunlop Can Afford to Lose

[user46392]

Chip monster Fabien Dunlop has taken a couple of hits.

First of all he got himself involved from the button with William Martin in the cutoff. They made it to the end of the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

board and Martin checked. Dunlop checked behind, and turned over {Q-?}

{Q-?}

{4-?}

for two pair -- and everyone was most surprised when Martin turned over {K-?}

{K-?}

{10-?}

for a sneakily-played full house that never got paid off.

A few hands later, Dunlop doubled up Anthony Roux when his {K-?}

{K-?}

{J-?}

failed to hit against Roux's pocket fours.

Nevertheless, the 480,000 that Dunlop is left with still represents roughly a 2:1 chip lead over anyone else in the tournament.
