Cold Decks and Bluffs Gone Wrong

Chris Clampitt couldn't keep his grip, and busted out holding {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} on a {Q-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} flop against Alexander Veldhuis' pocket kings. No more queens, tens or diamonds, and Clampitt was gone.

------

Also treading the long trail home is Chris Vaughn, trying it on with {9-Spades} {10-Spades} on a raggy seven-high flop and then getting all his chips in on a bluff on the {Q-Clubs} turn. Unfortunately for him, his opponent, Pat O'Connor, had flopped a set of sevens and was disinclined to lay it down, so Chris Vaughn also makes his exit now.
