Adding Insult to Injury for Wood

Matthew Wood got all in on a flop of {2-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts} and was at risk against Josh Field.

Showdown

Field{A-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Wood{A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Both players held the nut low, while Wood's ace-king was ahead for the high. The {Q-Spades} kept Wood in the lead and he was primed to take 3/4 of the pot, but destiny had other plans as the {9-Clubs} spiked to give Field a pair of nines and 3/4 of the pot. Just like that, Wood was left with just 12,000.

A few seconds later, Wood's phone went off and he received an invitation to Antonio Esfandiari's celebration party for winning the Big One for One Drop. The problem? It was a day late.

"Now that's just adding insult to injury," Wood said after the hand.
