Level 12: Blinds 600/1,200/200 ante
Woods Tables his Final Hand
After surviving his first all in with a chopped pot, actor James Woods isn't as lucky on his final hand.
"I'm drawing dead," says the academy award nominee and poker enthusiast after John Racener, the 2010 WSOP Main Event runner-up, turns over a set of Queens.
Woods tables A-8 with one card to go and says, "good game everyone." Then with some quick wit he says, "wait I have a flush," as Woods rearranges the board and grabs Racener's Queen of hearts to make his Ace suited.
Woods was down to 6k, losing 2/3 of his stack on a previous table, explaining that his pocket 10s were bested by A♣ 10♣ when his opponent hit runner-runner flush. The hand, which took Woods from 60k (50 bb) to less than 20k, is notable because on the deal the opponent's second card flashed and the 9♦ was replaced.
After discussing the hand with Tournament Director Tab Duchateau, Woods' is satisfied that the card was properly removed from play because multiple players said it flashed. "Good that makes me feel better," as he heads out the Event Center door.
Despite not cashing in this event, Woods' stay at Borgata was profitable after finishing runner-up in Event 20 for $17,214.
