Matt Woodward Sets the Trap

Matt Woodward and two other players limped in and watched the big blind raise to 1,250. The first limper tanked but eventually decided to call, Woodward came along and the other player folded.

Flop: {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The preflop raiser continued with a bet of 2,350 and Woodward took a long time to make his decision, before deciding on a raise to 5,500. The third player in the hand got out of the way and the big blind shoved all-in for 14,425. Woodward snap-called and showed his {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, which had his opponent's {J-Spades}{K-Diamonds} bluff drawing very thin.

The turn and river came {4-Clubs} and {3-Hearts} respectively, sending the big blind to the rail and boosting Woodward's stack to 38,000.
