Breakfast Money to Bracelets: A Look at James Woods's Poker Career

James Woods is off to quite the start at the 2015 World Series of Poker. With just five events in the books, he's already banked two nice cashes — $28,832 for a seventh-place finish in Event #4: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout and $5,324 for 37th in Event #6: $1,000 Hyper Hold'em. That might not sound like a ton for a successful Hollywood star, but it's a big accomplishment for a guy who once had to play poker for breakfast money.

In what's become a familiar sight at the 2015 WSOP, Woods' name can be surging up the chip counts on the live updates, this time in Event #9: $1,500 Razz.
