Hoyt Corkins Advances

Will you look at that...I won.
Will you look at that...I won.
Hoyt Corkins and his opponent capped the betting preflop. Corkins' opponent was all in. Corkins held {A-?} {8-?} and his opponent held {K-?} {2-?}. A flop of {8-?} {8-?} {10-?} put a stranglehold on the hand for Corkins. The turn and river bricked out and Corkins advances to the next round.

Wattel Battling

Mike Wattel is in a battle heads up. His opponent, Darren Brandes, was down to one 25 chip. He was able to double up six times in a row, fold a hand, and then double up again. Brandes has gotten all the way back up to 5,400 and seems to be giving Wattel a run for his money.
