"HOLD! HOLD! No King!" could be heard shouted across the bally's ballroom near the main stage. Brian "Woody" Wood was all in for his tournament life with against the of Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg. Despite picking up a flush draw on the turn, Spragg bricked out and Wood scored a double up.

"Yeah, baby! Woohoo! Yeehaw!" Wood continued as he ran around the ballroom in celebration of his double-up. The loud outburst seemed to come out of nowhere and a large crowd gathered to see what the commotion was all about.

Was it a big pot? What happened? That's his chip stack? Those were just some of the questions being asked. It was a reaction made for winning $10,000,000 and the Main Event but Wood doubled up for a measly 15,000 chips, leaving him well below the average.

As the TV crews gathered around, the charade continued with Wood being the centerpiece. "I asked Chris Moneymaker to go for dinner the other day but he said he didn't know me."

Just then, Moneymaker showed up at the table from overhearing his name. As the two players embraced, more screaming and loud noises came from Wood.

"What is going on over here?" Joey Ingram was the next person to scope out the situation, checking up on Spraggy.

"What's your name?" Wood asked as many players and media burst into laughter.
