Darren Woods Wins Event #19 ($213,431)Jun 14, '11 Kim Nguyen Eliminated in 2nd Place ($131,900) Darren Woods got the last knockout with Samuel Golbuff in 3rd ($85,616) place, but it was Kim Nguyen that lead going into heads-up play with roughly 1.5 million to 1.1.5 million. Darren Woods chipped up early and took the lead at the beginning of Level 26 after winning a pot with ace-high. Another big win with a pair of jacks, gave him a lead of 1.8 million to Nguyen’s 800,000 shortly after. She fought back and managed to snag a few pots here there, narrowing the gap at times, but soon Woods turned up the pressure and she was forced off of a lot of hands without a showdown. Woods pulled far out in front making two pair in a hand that saw a showdown, increasing his chip lead to over 5.5:1 towards the end of the level. Woods won another showdown with a pair of aces and that hand left Nguyen on the super short stack with under 10 BBs. On the final hand of the night, Kim Nguyen got her short stack all in before the flop with K The board came K Player Tags: Kim Nguyen, Darren Woods Level 25: Nguyen Leads Woods Heads-Up; Golbuff 3rd, Kuzmin 4thJun 14, '11 Blinds: 13,000-25,000 Limits: 25,000-50,000 Players Remaining: 2 out of 354 Average Chip Count: 1,327,500 Chip Counts: 1.

The former world champion Seed was attempting to become the first player to win both the WSOP and WSOP Europe main event titles.
