Gordon and Henson Bust

Phil Gordon is gone, pushing for 775 under the gun with {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} and finding a caller in Spil Venetsanopoulos, holding {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} on the button. The board an exciting but ultimately fruitless {7-Hearts} {5-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {9-Spades}.

Also no longer in the running is Ray Henson. All in preflop for 1,700 with {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds}, he didn't stand much of a chance against an opponent holding {10-Hearts} {10-Spades}, and the board came an ace-free {K-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {K-Hearts} {5-Clubs} to eliminate Mr Henson.
