In what has become the norm at the final table of the WPT LA Poker Classic, on the very next hand dealt after Nam Le was sent home, Woody found himself a victim of something else that has become a familiar happening at this final table, losing to Phil Ivey.

Ivey called Woody's all-in reraise on the turn on a board showing 8-5-2-7 with top two pair and Woody turned over 6-2, needing a 2, 9 or 4 on the river to hit his set or complete the open-ended straight draw. An inconsequential J came on the river and Woody shook Ivey's hand and walked off the stage to a standing ovation. He gets $625,630 for his finish.

Here are the chip counts going into heads-up play:

Quinn Do - 2.48 million
Phil Ivey - 10.82 million

Stay tuned and we'll let you know how it turns out, although we've got a pretty good guess. It rhymes with "shmivey bins."
