Actor and poker enthusiast James Woods just let us know about a big hand he was involved in recently, and according to Woods, his read on an opponent helped him make a tough call.

The flop read {k-}{10-}{4-} when Woods' opponent shoved all-in for around 80,000, and the man who stole Sharon Stone away from DeNiro in the classic film Casino saw a chance to steal a pot.

Woods said he put his man on {A-}{Q-}, and he called his man down with {7-}{7-} to find out his read on the hand was spot on. After dodging jacks, queens and aces on the turn and river, Woods notched the knockout and padded his stack in the process.
