The board ran out and Oliveira is now up to 12,000 chips.
A player in middle position made a standard opening raise, then Michael Woods reraised all in behind him. Chris Klodnicki was next to act, and after getting a count on Woods' raise -- about 12,000 -- Klodnicki said he was reraising over the top for his stack, too. The others, including the original raiser, folded, and the two remaining players showed their cards:
Woods
Klodnicki
The board came ... . That river gave Woods a straight, and doubled him to about 25,000. Klodnicki's Day 2 starts unpleasantly, but he's still got about 24,000.
