Charles Wood pulled off a double knock out when his pocket aces trumped his opponents pocket kings and pocket queens.

Wood and his two opponents got all the money in preflop and the board didn't improve any off the hands and Woods shouted "winner winner chicken dinner," as he raked the pot and sent two players to the rail.

Wood has 135,000
