Woods Does "Everything Wrong" and Wins

Level 8 : 400/800, 75 ante

James Woods was faced with a bet of 14,000 on a board of {3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, and opted to move all in for an additional 10,150.

"You have kings?" Woods asked his opponent, who was in the tank. "How do they feel now?"

The player laughed, but when the chuckling subsided, he sat quietly in thought once again.

"Come on," Woods urged, grinning. "It's a rebuy."

"Oh I'm not rebuying," the player said.

"Well, if you call you're going to be playing the slots," Woods responded.

Finally, after around three full minutes in the tank, the player called with {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} - far less than two kings. Woods was well ahead with {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for trip fours. The {q-Hearts} bricked off on the river, and Woods doubled to around 60,000. The player was left with a single small pile of assorted chips.

"I did everything wrong," Woods told our reporter. "I make bad calls and then make my opponents make even worse calls."
