Woody Deck - 7th Place

Florian Langmann raised to 100,000 in the cutoff, and Woody Deck called on the button. Zach Freeman shipped in for 335,000 in the small blind, the big blind folded, and Langmann shoved pot over that. Deck called off his 980,000.

Deck:     
Langmann:     
Freeman:     

Freeman had found double-suited kings with    in the blinds and rolled with it, and Langmann's isolation play had failed. The flop was    , giving Langmann the nut low and Freeman the high. A brutal   turned, and Deck was now in danger of busting as Langmann had him scooped with two pair and the nut low. The   helped nobody, so Freeman took the main high pot with aces up, while Langmann took the low. The German scooped the whole side pot, leaving Deck going out in seventh with the second-best stack.

Final Table Interview: Woody Deck

Woody Deck

Woody Deck made his first World Series of Poker final table back in 2007. Now he's back for his second shot at a bracelet in Event #54: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low.

But it isn't WSOP gold he's after. It's the money and the chance to play his favorite brand of poker.

PokerNews spoke with Deck at the break about why he loves Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low so much and just what his plan is going forward in the latest Final Table Interview.

PokerNews: This is your second WSOP final table. Is it any more exciting this time around?

I have more chips than last time, but I was chip leader nine handed and came eighth, so this is more fun. It's a good time, crazy table, but I don't know. It's just like any other tournament. I don't feel any different between playing this and $20 online.

PokerNews: Playing for a WSOP bracelet must make it somewhat exciting?

I need the money, the bracelet is maybe six or seven hundred dollars worth of gold. I'm playing the for the money, but I also enjoy the game. I really enjoy playing Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo.

PokerNews: It's noticeable on your resume as of late. There are a lot of cashes in Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo tournaments.

It's probably the only thing I play and I cash in maybe half of them. I play PLO cash, but Hold'em tournaments, only heads-up and it's hard to find heads-up tournaments with reasonable buy ins.

PokerNews: So you'll travel specifically to a tournament series with a Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo tournament on the schedule?

I'll come if they have Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo, but if it's just Hold'em I won't go.

I can remember going to London for a $200 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo tournament. I went to Paris from London, about a four hour journey on the Eurostar, just to play a 400 Euro Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo tournament. It wasn't about the profit, it was just about how much I enjoy playing this game.

PokerNews: Why Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo?

It's what I grew up playing online. It's very well suited to online. Not so much live. The games used to be very good and I did quite well in them.

I really want to win the tournament. I don't care about the bracelet, but my friend won it in 2007. I was the first out and he won the tournament. We were rooming together, so hopefully it works out differently this time.

PokerNews: So what is your plan going forward?

Wait for the free money and then gamble it up. There's not that much skill when you're short stacked. The most aggressive person usually wins if they run good and that's what I've done. I'm the only one who has pulled off a bluff at the table. Florian [Langmann] keeps raising it up with junk and doubling people up.

Wilkerson - More Doubles Than Mike Trout

Dylan Wilkerson completed the blind and saw Florian Langmann pot it. Wilkerson repotted, and the two got it all in from the blinds.

Langmann:     

Each had only one unique card, with Wilkerson leading with ace-queen, while Langmann had the only suited cards with clubs. Wilkerson paired his queen on the     flop, and a   turn sealed it for him as Langmann couldn't even catch a low for a quarter.

Langmann:     
Depa:     

The flop was     nothing of substance for either besides a gutshot for Depa. A   turn and   river meant Langmann had run the nut flush, and he finally knocked out the stubborn Depa.

Depa Harder to Kill than a Cockroach

Jonathan Depa was down to 3,000 chips a bit ago, a quarter of the small blind. Now, he still only has 24,000, but he at least has a fighting chance.

First he got it all in with      and made jacks full to take the high end on a       board against Florian Langmann and Dylan Wilkerson.

Then, Langmann raised to 55,000, and Depa put his last 7,000 in, with Doug Baughman calling in the big blind. Baughman mucked to a flop bet after     hit the board, and Depa turned over     . He had a straight draw against Langmann's      for a pair of nines, and a   turn and   river meant Depa had a higher straight to take the pot.

Langmann Hands Two Doubles Out

Depa Doubles After Taking a Hit

Baughman:     
Depa:

Two hands later, Depa raised to 70,000, nearly all of his chips, and Zach Freeman put him all in for his remaining 14,000.

Freeman:     
Depa:     

Depa had a rainbow hand but there was some value there with    for low and    for high, both ahead of Freeman. Depa's equity was realized as the board came      , giving him a straight to the six with a nut low.

Final Table Spotlight: Dylan Wilkerson

Dylan Wilkerson is a well-traveled grinder.

As notable hands continue to be few and far between, we decided to highlight one of the final table participants battling here today at Event #54 of the 2014 World Series of Poker.

Dylan Wilkerson is a name that might not be familiar to most, but he has found his share of success as a well-traveled grinder on the tournament circuit. He's scored past cashes in a wide variety of countries, including Australia, France, Spain, England, Bahamas, Canada, and of course his home country: United States.

Wilkerson's total tournament cashes in live settings add up to just over $1.3 million, and he's already booked a cash well over the roughly $300,000 that will be given for first here. However, he's still looking for his first major win as his two biggest cashes were both bittersweet silver medal efforts this past spring: $228,364 at CPT Fallsview Classic Main Event and $728,650 at WPT Bay 101 Shooting Stars.

We'll continue to monitor the San Francisco native's progress as he attempts to take down this final table.
