Cammarota Bouncing Up and Down Early

With the pot sitting around 5,000 and the final board reading {Q-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}, Alfonso Cammarota fired out a bet of 3,000. His opponent tanked and then made the call asking, "Are we chopping?" The player then turned up {A-?} {A-?}. Cammarota had him beat with {10-?} {10-?} and a full house to rake in the pot.

Cammarota mentioned that he lost about 5,000 chips on an early hand after his opponent called preflop with {4-?} {2-?} and chased an open-ended straight draw before catching it on the river. He may have lost a third of his stack early, but Cammarota is back up to about 22,000 chips.
