Woodhead Doubles Through Benson
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
Jeff Lisandro limped in from under the gun, and then Gary Benson raised to 6,500 on the button. Stephen Woodhead reraised from the big blind to 22,500, and that knocked Lisandro out of the way. Benson thought it over, saw that Woodhead only had a couple thousand behind, and then reraised to put him all in. Woodhead called all in for 26,100 total, and the cards were turned up.

hit the river, and he successfully doubled up.
