John Woods Exits PartyPoker Main Event in Seventh Place
In a dramatic turn of events at the ongoing PartyPoker Main Event, Canadian poker pro Jaime Staples was eliminated in seventh place, marking the end of his journey in the tournament.
The pivotal hand unfolded during a round of betting, with Staples opening a bet of 80,000 UTG. The action moved to John Woods on the button, who called the bet with a cool 160,000. The flop came down 5♣5♥10♠, and Staples went all-in for a total of 205,000. Woods, seemingly undeterred, made a call, matching Staples' all-in bet.
As the spectators gathered around the final table, it was revealed that Staples was holding K♣9♣, while Woods was holding the stronger K♦J♦. The board completed with 5♠8♦, and Staples' run in the Main Event came to an end.
Despite the unfortunate outcome, Staples expressed confidence before the hand, stating, "I feel like this is my time." However, the poker gods had other plans for the Canadian pro this time.
For his seventh-place finish, Staples was awarded £4,000. As for John Woods, he continues to be a force to reckon with in the poker world, having recently been active in major live tournament events, including notable appearances in the 2025 PokerStars EPT Barcelona Main Event and other high-profile tournaments.
