Leknes Chops Down Woods
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Lauri Saaskilahti raised to 40,000 from the hijack with J♥9♥ and Tobias Leknes called in the cutoff with K♥Q♦. Tomasz Brzezinski flicked in the call from the button with 6♠6♥, and John Woods used some extra time before he called from the big blind with Q♠J♣.
The quartet saw the flop of 2♥Q♣7♦ hit the felt and when it got to Leknes, he bet 45,000. Brzezinski folded his pocket sixes, Woods called, and Saaskilahti folded.
The 6♣ came on the turn, which would have given Brzezinski a set, and Woods checked it over with 250,000 behind. Leknes then bet 100,000, Woods shoved, and Leknes called.
Woods needed a jack on the river to survive, but the 5♣ wasn't it, meaning he was out.
