Just Before Break...

...Hoyt Corkins added his name to the top of the leaderboard. We didn't see all of the action, but we did see Corkins put in the final raise -- all in for an additional 56,000 -- on a board of {9-Spades} {4-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}. There were already 90,000 chips in the middle; Corkins' opponent finally surrendered, claiming to have mucked pocket jacks.

As Corkins stacked his newfound 145,000 chips, he claimed to have been dealt pocket queens.
