Woodward Scores a Double KO

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Three players got all of their chips in the middle preflop and it was Tim Woodward who had the largest of the three stacks and showed up with the best hand.

Woodward opened {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} while his two opponents held {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. The dealer fanned the flop of {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts} to give two players a set, but Woodward had the larger of the two. The {3-Diamonds} on the turn and the {8-Clubs} on the river locked up the pot for Woodward who eliminated both of his opponents.
