While standing in line at the cashier Friday PM/ Saturday AM, I scanned the nearly empty poker room. At the table directly to my left, a young, tall beauty caught my eye. I noticed her stack (of chips= sizable), and then I noticed the larger stack (of chips= gigantic) on the table, in front of the gentleman to her left.

Hey, I recognize this guy. (He used to play on Hollywood Poker, back when I was allowed.) It's Oscar nominated actor James Woods. This was the third time I've seen Mr. Woods at the 'Woods. While I didn't bother Mr. Woods, it was clear that he was having some good laughs at his table. Not to mention his massive stack.

Anyone here sit in on his session this past weekend?

I know he plays NL but at what stakes?

I was at the table next to his for most of the night (The corner table by the cashier). He was playing 2/5NL with his girlfriend, surprisingly. They played for a bit, then went to dinner. When they came back, she sat back down and he hung around for a while, sweating her and other players at nearby tables until a seat opened up at the table. Then they both played for a while. I didn't notice what time they left, probably around 12 or 1am.

Seemed like they had a good time, cheering when she won a pot, chatting it up with the other players, etc. It looked like a good table actually, but I didn't move there because it was tough to get a seat, plus I didn't want to look like a tool for wanting to sit at James Woods' table.

He usually plays 5/10+ I think, but I guess maybe she didn't want to play that high. I'm pretty sure he was playing the 5/10 earlier though, because I talked to a guy that sat with him (I think it was the same day).

was it 10/20 at the Bellagio?

I think it would be cool to play with a celebrity.

I have played with him a number of times over the last couple of years. Nice guy, very friendly. I did see him flip out once when he took a bad beat for a couple of thousand.
