The Other Woods is 1-Up

[user135779]

Darren Woods: 1 vs. Andrew Seidman: 0

The money was all in the middle preflop and we got there as the cards were tabled:

Seidman: {6-Spades}

Woods:

Woods took the lead on the flop of {q-Spades}

and stayed there as the turn and river ran out {j-Spades}

,

.

It's going to be tough work for the DeucesCracked crew as both the Woodses now have a 1-0 advantage in their respective matches.

Barry Woods: 1 vs. Vanessa Selbst: 0

Despite taking an early chip lead in their second match, Selbst has had all the hard work undone and it's back to all square with her battle against Woods.

On a board of {k-Clubs}

, Woods moved all of it into the middle and Selbst snap-called, tabling {k-Spades}

for trip kings.

However Woods rolled up {7-Hearts}

for a flopped full house! Crippled down to around 4,000 in chips, Selbst moved all in a short time later on a flop of {5-Clubs}

with

.

To her relief, she had managed to strike it lucky against Woods' {9-Spades}

and she doubled up after the turn and river ran out {3-Hearts}

Ouch!

[user135779]

Barry Woods: 2 def. Vanessa Selbst: 0

The money was all in on a flop that read {2-Hearts}

and we got to the feature table as the cards were tabled:

Woods: {k-Clubs}

Selbst:

Selbst was in great shape to double up but looked worried then the {k-Diamonds}

spiked on the turn, giving Woods some hope to bust her out on the river with the case king, any eight or any ...

... yep, you guessed it, any two. Which came down on the river in the form of the {2-Clubs}

, thus eliminating Selbst in seventh place.

"Okay, I'm going to go and shoot myself now," joked Selbst after shaking hands with Woods, who will now have to wait for the winner of the rubber between Andrew Lichtenberger and Martin Gudvangen.

Darren Woods: 1 vs. Andrew Seidman: 1

Woods moved his last 2,000 in chips into the middle from the button preflop with {a-Hearts}

.

Seidman made it one-all after the dealer spread the board of {q-Hearts}

Slowride, Take it Easy

[user135779]

The action in the last two quarter-final matches has slowed to a crawl, but there's still plenty going on in the poker world.

Why not take a few minutes to catch up with all the latest news with The Nightly Turbo?

Grinding Away

[user135779]

Darren Woods: 1 vs. Andrew Seidman: 1

Woods raised to 250 from the button and Seidman called before the flop of {a-Diamonds}

.

Seidman check-called Woods' bet of 350 before both players checked the turn of the {q-Clubs}

.

Seidman then led out for 700 on the river of the {7-Spades}

, but the chips hadn't even left his hand before Woods quickly mucked his cards.

That pretty much sums up how slowly it's going up here Studio 3.
