Russell Westbrook knocks out Tiger Woods in all-in poker showdown

Tiger Woods hosted his annual poker night on Friday as a part of Tiger Jam, which raises money for the TGR Foundation, and the reigning Masters champion was involved in a dramatic showdown with Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Russell Westbrook at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Westbrook, holding a pair of queens, was all-in against Woods, who was all-in with Ace-King. Woods got a brutal break on the flop, as the dealer turned over three cards in a stack to reveal an ace on top, giving Woods top pair. The dealer then spread the cards to reveal a queen, giving Westbrook three-of-a-kind.

The turn and the river didn’t help either player, and Woods was eliminated.
