Blinds 25K/50K Ante 5K
With a 2.5 to 1 chip lead starting heads up play, James Woods opened the action for 150K. Ed Walsh made a minimum re-raise to 250K and Woods called. The flop came J♥3♣2♦ and Ed leads out for 325K. Woods raises to 925K and Walsh doesn't waste much time before he announces that he is all in. Woods makes a quick call and turns over pocket queens. Walsh, however, has him beaten by a pip with pocket kings. "Ohhhh," Woods said. "So unlucky." The turn and river are 8♦8♠ and Ed took over the chip lead by a 4 million to 2.6 million advantage.
Woods lost another 800K to Walsh when Woods topped top pair but ended up paying off Walsh and his flopped top two pair. After limp re-raising Walsh and facing an all in re-raise Woods decides to try and get lucky with K-3. Unfortunately for him, he is up against queens and while he is able to hit a 3 on the flop, nothing else would arrive to keep him from being felted. An admirable performance from the veteran Hollywood actor who was friendly with all and took the time to pose for numerous photos with the people he played with.
