James Woods was just eliminated by Michael Woo in 24th place, earning $39,859.


David Chiu raises to $31,000, Woods reraises to $151,000 from the small blind, Michael Woo reraises to $360,000 from the big blind, Chiu folds, and Woods calls all in for a total of $301,000 with pocket queens (Q Q). But Michael Woo shows pocket rockets (A A ). Woods is double-dominated here, as they have the same suits in their hands.


The board comes 5 4 3 7 3, and Woods had no outs but a queen the entire way. As he gets up from the table, the gathered crowd applauds his performance, sad to see him out of the tournament.


This was a great performance by Woods to make it this far in a championship event with the best players in the world in attendance. He outlasted 668 other players to make it this far, and this is the biggest tournament cash of his poker career. (Keep in mind that he plays in very few events.) Congratulations, Mr. Woods!
