Woodward finally decides to raise a button, making it 750,000 to go. Pieter de Korver calls. Hooray! The flop:
. De Korver checks, allowing Woodward to bet another 750,000 before de Korver check-raises all in for 20,000,000. Woodward shakes his head, thinks it over, then calls.de Korver:
Woodward:
De Korver has middle pair, with not a great kicker, but surprisingly he's ahead of Woodward's middle pair, worse kicker! The only difference is that Woodward has a heart draw to go with his pair. He's going to need another pair or a heart to stay in this tournament.
Turn:
Woodward looks deflated. Even though he has more outs to a chop now, he seems to know that the title is not in his future. He's right; the river falls
and Woodward is out in second place. He's getting �1,300,000.
