After bagging up one of the largest stacks in the room last night, Abdul Amer just inched closer to the million-chip plateau by busting actor James Woods.

According to Amer, there was a min-raise to open the pot and Woods flatted, along with Amer and another player. After the flop fell {j-}{3-}{8-}, the action was checked around the table, bringing the {2-Diamonds} on board on the turn.

Woods decided to lead out this time, making it 55,000 to play, and only Amer came along for the ride. The river card was the {5-Spades}, and Woods jammed the rest of his chips into the middle for a power play. Amer tanked for a bit to assess the situation, before deciding to look Woods up.

Showdown:

Woods: {A-}{A-}
Amer: {J-Spades}{3-Spades}

Trying to get tricky with pocket rockets, Woods played his aces slow, and the move came back to haunt him in the end. Amer's speculative play with a marginal hand turned panned out, and with two pair on the flop, he busted Woods to bring us one step closer to the final table.
