Wallace Wallops 'Em

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

A player in the cutoff opened to 4,500 and James Woods came along from the hijack.

Sean Wallace held the button and with his stack hovering near the danger zone, he made his stand with a three-bet shove for 17,200. The action folded around to the original bettor, and he also announced himself all in for about 20,000 or so.

Woods then went for a tour of the tank, thinking things over for about two minutes while apologizing to the table for his delay.

"I really have a hand here guys," he said. "Sorry, just need to think it through..."

Eventually, after telling himself he had the best hand, Woods declined to call the bet, folding his {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} face up. Wallace flipped up his {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} to find himself in a race against the cutoff's {A-Clubs}{k-Clubs}.

That race ended in a flash when the dealer fanned the {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop, as Wallace's set of sevens left the cutoff's big slick virtually drawing dead. When the turn came {6-Spades} the hand was over, and the {9-Hearts} on the river made things official.

Woods, for his part, was quite pleased to see that he made the correct laydown, while Wallace doubled through to keep himself in contention late on Day 1b.
