WATCH: NBA Star Russell Westbrook Beats Tiger Woods In His Own Charity Poker Tournament

Tiger Woods was back in a cardroom Friday night for Tiger’s Poker Night presented by the World Poker Tour. The annual charity poker tournament took place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas as part of the weekend festivities for Tiger Jam, an event that raises money for Woods’ TGR Foundation.

While the golf outing earlier in the day at Shadow Creek featured an appearance by former Major League Baseball player Shane Victorino, it was Oklahoma City Thunder guard and former MVP Russell Westbrook who faced off with Woods at the poker table.

The two were seated side by side and ultimately got into a preflop confrontation with Woods and his A-K up against the pocket queens of Westbrook. Phil Hellmuth was on hand acting as the tournament MC, and he announced the action as a crowd of onlookers surrounded the table.

An ace in the door led to a premature celebration from Woods, but it was quickly followed by a queen, giving Westbrook a set. The tournament was ultimately won by Dan Shak, who finished ahead of Anthony Alberto for the title.

Check out the full hand below, with video taken by WPT anchor Lynn Gilmartin, who was also seated at the table.

The most viral moment of the weekend, however, belonged to Tiger while giving some golf instruction at the range.

When a patron asked him what he thought of the man who won $1.19 by risking $85,000 on him to win The Masters, Woods responded by saying it was a “fucking great bet.”

He wasn’t too keen on the $100,000 the man wagered on him to win the Grand Slam, however.
