Corkins Not So Sweet to Sweeting

Don't mess with Corkins.
Don't mess with Corkins.
Hoyt Corkins, one of the "name" pros still alive in the field, has sent Neil Sweeting to the rail. Corkins raised to 25,000 from early position. Sweeting, as next to act, reraised all in for 159,000. Action folded back to Corkins, who made an easy call with {A-Hearts} {A-Spades}. Sweeting showed {6-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} and showed some life when the flop came down {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {4-Clubs}. The {5-Diamonds} on the turn slammed the door shut on Sweeting. The board finished out {4-Spades}.

Corkins now has about 440,000 chips.
