James Woods Eliminated

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Actor James Woods has 3 Emmy's and 17 WSOP cashes to his name including four at the 2017 Series.

He won’t be adding to that number today though.

“Lost two flips both ways.” Woods growled as he exited the tournament area.

Chris Moorman Below Average

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

“It’s not going well for me,” Chris Moorman said as he swirled his G&T and took another swig.

Moorman’s stack was well below average with just 15,100 left and he was falling well behind on his one drink per level target. He was desperately looking around for a waiter to attempt to get back on track to chase Niall Farrell’s formidable record, and will be looking to double up soon if he wants to last the full 18 levels.
