James Woods Bags Big in $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw
From the 508 players who jumped in Event #77: $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball at the 2026 World Series of Poker, just 151 remain.
They are led by China's Dong Chen, who picked up his second WSOP bracelet earlier in the year in Event #38: $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship.
He's the only former bracelet-winner inside the top 10, but it also features American actor and producer James Woods, who has enjoyed a fruitful WSOP this year, with four cashes so far — all in mixed games.
Woods' best run in a WSOP event came in 2018, when he final tabled Event #12: $1,500 Dealer's Choice, finishing fifth.
