James Woods Is So Smooth...
James Woods
James Woods is so smooth that in January, he negotiated a nine-way chop in an event where he had a slight chip lead so that he got first place money and the other eight place chopped the rest evenly. True story...
In the Foxwoods Mega Stack Challenge Main Event, he probably won't be able to do that. However, he has built his stack up to 203,000 and is now one of the chip leader late on Day One action.
