Wood Wins a Race
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Christopher Wood moved all in for his last 36,000 in the big blind and Ka Wai Man called in the hijack.
Christopher Wood: K♠Q♦
Ka Wai Man: 8♣8♠
Wood and Man were off to the races as the flop came A♥2♠4♣. Wood hit the K♥ on the turn to take the lead, and he secured a double up once the 7♦ completed the board.
Wood was more concerned with the result of a Tottenham-Crystal Palace game that was being shown on the big screen in the tournament room. "Just keep it," he yelled out as the dealer pushed him the pot.
