Hand #79 - Matthew Woodward

Two players fold to Pieter de Korver in the small blind, who raises to 500,000. Big blind Matthew Woodward eyes de Korver's stack. He may be a bit confused by the unusual size of de Korver's raise (especially given how few chips de Korver is playing behind). Woodward finally moves in and de Korver calls.

Woodward: {k-Clubs} {j-Clubs}
de Korver: {9-Hearts} {9-Spades}

Woodward doesn't look happy but he couldn't have expected much more than a race in this situation. It turns out that de Korver has him barely covered by about 350,000 chips.

Woodward is in trouble after a flop of {7-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}. The {Q-Diamonds} is one card of a running combination that would stave off his elimination. A gasp goes up from the gallery as the second runner, the {10-Diamonds}, hits the river to give Woodward a Broadway straight and a double-up.
