McCorkell's River Bet Wins a Pot
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
World Series of Poker bracelet winner Craig McCorkell, in the hijack, raised to 1,500 and was called in two spots, Mian Wei looked him up from the cutoff and Paul Newey called from the big blind.
The trio checked in turn on the 
flop and again on the 
turn. Newey checked the arrival of the 
river, leading McCorkell to bet 3,500. Wei instantly folded and Newey also gave up.
