Woodrow Pass (Seffner, FL) experienced every poker player's nightmare earlier today, as a significant amount of cash fell from his pocket...and was nowhere to be found when he realized it.

As we passed Table 4, Woodrow Pass (Seffner, FL) and Avery Bass were involved in a hand, both looking at a 10♦ 9♣ 8♥ flop.  Bass had checked to Pass, who bet 5,000, with Avery then check-raising to 15,000.  Woodrow was having none of it though, as he quickly announced that he was all-in, having Bass well covered.  Close to seventy-percent of Bass's stack was committed in the hand, but after getting the clock called on him, Avery would release his hand.  Bass was left with just over 10,000 after the hand, while Woodrow Pass chipped up to 105,000.

While reaching the century would normally be the story for a player at this point in the day...it's second to what happened to Woodrow earlier.  About two hours before dinner, Pass was looking to get involved in one of the single-hand "flips" that was running, and grabbed some money from his pocket.  Less than ten minutes later, Pass realized that the money he had in his pocket (close to $2,000) was gone.  It was nowhere in sight, and after recovery efforts were fruitless...Woodrow chalked it up as a loss.  Just a few minutes before dinner, one of the supervisors from the poker floor informed Pass that his money was recovered, to Woodrow's surprise.  The rest of the night is now a free roll for Pass, who basically gave up on the money just a few hours earlier.
