Tiger Woods took heavy defeat in his own poker tournament

Tiger Woods continues to have a year full of ups and downs. This time 43-years golf star suffered a heavy defeat at his own poker tournament from Russell Westbrook, NBA player of Oklahoma City Thunder.

The loss came during Woods’ charity tournament, ‘Tiger Jam Experience’, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas over the weekend. Both Woods (ace-king) and Westbrook (pockets queens) went all-in before the flop.

Woods thought he had captured a major advantage when the dealer revealed the top card of the flop was an ace. His celebration immediately turned into anguish when the dealer laid out the other two cards. One of them was a queen, giving Westbrook three-of-a-kind and win.

Earlier this year Woods completed his incredible comeback with a triumph at the 2019 Masters. This brought him a Presidential Medal of Freedom from one of his biggest fans in President Donald Trump. However, two weeks ago he failed to make the cut at the PGA Championship.

Now, Woods can hope that fortune turns back during the U.S. Open in June.
