James Woods Bids Susie Isaacs Farewell

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Susie Isaacs
Susie Isaacs

After speaking with the table we have heard that James Woods has gotten another elimination and is now approaching the 100,000-chip mark.

Woods and Susie Isaacs got it all in preflop with Woods holding pocket queens and Isaacs showing {a-}{q-}. The board didn't help to improve Isaacs's hand and she was eliminated. On her departure, Woods said, "I have knocked out a true poker queen, with my queens."

Isaacs is indeed a well-known name and easily one of the most respected figures in poker. She is known as "Ms. Poker," has released four books, won two WSOP bracelets and is a constant contributor and writer to many various poker magazines. She is the only woman in history to win back-to-back WSOP women's titles and is sure to be seen throughout many more events.

After the hand we had a chance to speak to James Woods about his poker friendship with Susie Isaacs.

"She is one of the first successful women I ever met in the poker world, many many years ago, playing limit," Woods said. "She is one of the classiest individuals you will ever find and is responsible for teaching me about the graciousness and humility of the game. It has helped me grow into a better player and person. She is a wonderful poker player and an even better human being."

One of Isaacs best known quotes is, "May the flop make you happy and the river be gentle." Very eloquently put.

Jerry Kleinsasser Finds a Double-Up

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

There was around 17,000 in the pot already and the board read {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}. Clayton Taul led out for 8,000 and Jerry Kleinsasser moved all in for 14,900. Taul called and the cards were face up.

Clayton Taul: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}
Jerry Kleinsasser: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Kleinsasser's top set of tens was behind the flopped flush of Taul and would need the board to pair to catch up. The turn was the {a-Diamonds} and the river brought the {8-Diamonds}, giving Kleinsasser a full house and a key double-up.
