Krost Takes Care of McCorkell

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

A short-stacked Craig McCorkell, who was the short stack on the money bubble, decided it was time to go with the {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} and was at risk against the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} of 2010 Aussie Millions Main Event champ Tyron Krost, who got into this event for free after winning last year's Tournament of Champions.

According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, McCorkell had a 52.56% chance of surviving the hand, but even though the {9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{J-Clubs} flop didn't hit Krost directly, it made him a 52.63% favorite by giving him a flush draw to go with his overs. The {7-Diamonds} turn gave McCorkell back the lead and made him a 68.18% favorite, but the {3-Clubs} spiked on the river to give Krost the flush and the win.
