It's been tough for some of the more recognizable players to hold onto chips today. Mark Vos has been up and down and he took a recent small hit when he doubled up a short stack. Vos raised the big blind preflop to 1,300 and was called by the small blind, who had limped in. Both players checked after the flop came down {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

. On the turn {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

, the small blind bet 3,000. Vos raised enough to put him all in and he snap-called with {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

for trip fives. Vos had {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{10-Spades}

and couldn't find a ten on the {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

river. He falls back to 43,200 in chips.
