Hand #132 - Pieter de Korver

Woodward raises his button to 425,000 again. Pieter de Korver calls again. It's all red and small, {3-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}. Changing things up a little, de Korver leads into Woodward for 400,000. Woodward calls. A potential draw-filling card, the {5-Spades} hits the turn. De Korver fires a second time, making it 700,000 to go. Woodward calls again.

The river falls {10-Clubs} and Dana says to me, "[Woodward] looks like he's going to cry." De Korver is not shy with his bet -- it's 3.6 million to go to showdown. Woodward folds.

"Do you want to see what I had?" de Korver asks Woodward. Woodward says yes and de Korver flashes the {3-Clubs}. That's no help to Woodward's stack; he's down to 6,325,000.

Hand #130 - Pieter de Korver

Pieter de Korver
Pieter de Korver
Matthew Woodward opens for 425,000 and Pieter de Korver quickly calls. As is his wont, de Korver checks the {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {7-Spades} flop and, as is his wont, Woodward bets 450,000. De Korver makes what seems like his eleventy-billionth check-raise of heads-up play, this time to 1,200,000. Woodward thinks things through before calling.

The turn is the {4-Hearts}. De Korver puts a large stack of brown chips across the line. It's 2.5 million chips in total. Woodward calls in less than 30 seconds, making this the biggest pot of heads-up play.

The river {5-Clubs} is barely on the felt before de Korver moves all in. He has Woodward covered. Woodward quickly surrenders, and de Korver can't resist needling him.

"Bluff!" he says with a grin. "You'll see it on TV."
