Danny Wong raised to 800 from early position, and Isaac Haxton called from the hijack. Stephen Wolff reraised to 4,000 from the cutoff. Adam Westell then bumped it up to 12,000.

We weren't finished. Wong then pushed all in to 21,700. Haxton folded. Wolff reraised all in to 32,400, and Westell made the call. There were three good reasons for all the preflop action:

Westell: {Q-Spades}

.
Wong:

.

The board ran out {J-Spades}

, and Wong tripled up to 73,000. Wolff's kings gave him the side pot, and he is now at 21,400. Westell hit the rail.

Corkins Fights Griffin, Gets Clawed

[user38368]

Hoyt Corkins is all in with 9-9 versus Gavin Griffin's K-Q. After Griffin calls, Phil Laak says, "I folded 8-8. Gavin saved me." The 9-9 holds up and Corkins is up to 34,000 versus the 46,000 of Griffin.

On the next hand, the board is {Q-Diamonds}

and they show down again with a lot of chips in the pot. Griffin has {Q-Spades}

and Corkins has 7-7. The boat over boat situation knocks Corkins down to his last 1,500. Griffin moves back up to 97,800.

"You win one race, you lose one race," says Corkins.

Corkins goes out a short time later with K-Q versus Griffin's A-A on a board of 4-6-10-10-2.
