Event 1: James Taken to the Woods(hed)

James Woods Was Eliminated Shortly Before the Bubble Burst
James Woods Was Eliminated Shortly Before the Bubble Burst

Despite entering Day 2 with one of the biggest stacks in the room, actor and poker enthusiast James Woods was eliminated just before the money bubble burst.

We caught Woods with all his chips pushed forward, and experienced tournament veteran Nick Guagenti considering the call.

"Double me up, come on, let's do it!" said Woods, exhorting Guagenti to get involved. "I like my hand."

Guagenti obliged by moving a stack forward to signal a call. Woods tabled the {K-Spades}{q-Spades} for top two pair, and it was clear his table talk was based on the truth.

Unfortunately for Woods, he was up against a better hand, as Guagenti held {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a flopped set.

"Jeez!" exclaimed Woods. "I cannot run any worse than I am today. Fifth set I've run into in three levels!"

When the turn ({10-Diamonds}) and river ({J-Clubs}) failed to fill Woods up, he was eliminated just short of a min-cash despite holding the second-largest stack entering Day 2. He didn't seem to be too bothered though, as we spotted Woods wandering the Signature Room downstairs trying to register for today's Survivor No-Limit Hold'em event.
