Woods Tops Polk, Final Table Set in Event #4
A strange day concluded in Event #4: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout, leaving a final table of 10 set to return on Saturday. Things kicked off with 10 tables of four each, and stacks were quite deep, leading to an interesting dynamic.
Ultimately, it was Nick Petrangelo (474,000), Andreas Hoivold (472,000), David Peters (467,000), James Woods (462,000), Brian Lemke (460,000), Derek Bowers (460,000), Loni Harwood (446,000), Jeffrey Griffiths (445,000), Leo Wolpert (444,000), and Jason Les (443,000) emerging from their respective tables.
Woods did so after an epic heads-up battle with online superstar Doug Polk that last several hours and saw momentum and the lead change hands repeatedly. Carlos Mortensen, Jason Somerville, Jake Balsiger, Jeff Gross, Craig McCorkell, and Sam Greenwood also fell short of advancing.
