Event 1: Woods Shown a Cooler

James Woods' two pair wasn't enough.
James Woods' two pair wasn't enough.

In one of the last hands before break, James Woods fired 18,000 into two opponents after a flop of {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Tom McKeough called in the cutoff, while the early position player folded. The turn brought a {j-Diamonds} and a check from Woods. McKeough fired 40,000, and Woods wasted little time before announcing all in. McKeough shrugged and made the call.

McKeough: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Woods: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Woods had turned two pair but was still in bad shape against McKeough's set. The river brought a blank {6-Clubs}, and Woods' stack has taken a huge hit since he started the day in second place.

"I can't get a break," he said, lamenting his poor luck.
