"Will you post my picture if I make the final table?" asked Eric Wood. I told him I'd post if he made the final 27 with his short stack, probably write the book if he won the tournaments. Wood came close to missing out on the final 3 tables at the hands of yet another bad beat.
He put all his chips in the middle with two black kings against his opponents pocket tens. 8 Q J had him sweating the gutter ball draw and two tens. One of those tens fell on the turn, putting him in trouble but still open ended. The river came a 9 giving him a the king high straight and live to see another hand.
While that was going on, another table finished the job getting us to 27 players. I missed the recipient of the beat, but his AA was cracked by KQ and he's off to the cage.
