Woods Departs with Aces-Up

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante
James Woods
James Woods

With several players calling the bring-in ahead of him, James Woods completed to 300. The first caller, called, as did Pablo Ortiz.

Woods bet fourth street and both his opponents called, before he bet his final 325 on fifth with both his opponents calling.

On sixth, Ortiz took the lead with a bet of 600, and his opponent called.

Woods: {X-}{X-} / {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} / {X-}
Ortiz: {X-}{X-} / {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} / {X-}
Opponent: {X-}{X-} / {K-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{10-Clubs} / {X-}

On seventh, Ortiz bet and his opponent called.

Ortz tabled his {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades} for two-pair, but it would be his opponent's {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} that would take the side pot.

Once Woods revealed his lesser aces-up of {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, he was eliminated.
