James Woods Medical Scare, Required EMTs While At The WSOP

EMTs tended to Woods as he was sent to the ER.

A scary scene took place at the Rio earlier today as PokerNews, among others, reported that poker player and acclaimed actor James Woods required medical attention while attending the World Series of Poker.

We received reports that that Woods collapsed and PokerNews reported a witness claiming that Woods required oxygen “as he pointed to his chest.”

A short time later though Woods took to Twitter to reassure his fans that things were looking up.

Thanks to the great Rio Hotel staff and superb Las Vegas paramedics, I am resting comfortably with good news so far at the ER.— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) June 09, 2014

I did what every person my age should do with any sign of sudden symptoms that could be cardiac related. I’m sharing hoping others take care— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) June 09, 2014

In related news, James Woods, has been doing a lot of media while at the WSOP and outside of the great videos he shot for PokerNews and Bluff (which we have linked to above) he also sat down with Pokerlistings to talk about all things poker, celebrity and even a couple notes on how to have better luck with the ladies. A great read with some fantastic quotes from Woods, so while we’re all wishing him a speedy recovery and a quick return to the felt, check out the following article.
