Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Hoyt Corkins opened the action with a raise to 450 from under the gun, and received one caller before a player in middle position came over the top for all of his remaining 1,925 chips. The action folded back to Corkins who then declared that he was also all in, to attempt to isolate against the short stack. It worked, as the third player stepped aside and the cards were tabled.

In a classic race, Corkins held {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

against his opponent's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

, but the cards fell {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

to give his opponent two pair and a handy double-up.

Following the hand Corkins gave a "What can you do?" sigh as he was left with 4,900 in chips.
