Chris "Blue Eyes" Clampitt advances to the next round. He called a 2,500 bet from Matt Brady on the {7-Diamonds}

flop, and called his all in on the {4-Clubs}

turn. Both players were holding the open-ended straight draw, Brady with the 5-6 and Clampitt with the 9-10. Neither hit on the river, and Clampitt won his table with just the 10-high.
