With antes at 1,000, he folded the next hand. The next hand he threw in his ante and was left with one orange and, after Mike Sica raised to 20,000, he tossed it in. Sica had [Ac][Jc] to Woods' [As][8c]. The board came [7s][5d][4d][3s][8h] and Woods nailed the river to stay alive.
Now with 13,000, he moved all in with [Ah][5s] and was called by an opponent holding [Ac][As]. This time, the board ran out [7c][2s][4c][5h][3d] and Woods managed a huge chop.
The next hand he was all in again with [Kd][2d] vs. [2h][2s] and managed to hit a king on the flop despite the fact that another player stated that they folded a king.
After a big raise from Adam Hui, Woods moved all in again with [Kd][Qh]. Hui made the call and turned up [Qd][Qs]. Yet again, James Woods hit a king on the flop to stay alive.
From a single 1,000 chip, the legendary James Woods now sits on over 140,000.
