Corbett Loses Half His Stack in the First Hand

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Tyler Corbett, who finished runner-up the last time the MSPT visited Golden Gates Casino, got off to a disastrous start losing about half his chips on the first hand.

We picked up the action on the river with the board reading {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts} when Corbett checked and Cuong Van Nguyen bet 5,000. Corbett snap-called, but mucked when Nguyen rolled over the {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a straight. A frustrated Corbett claimed to have flopped a set.
