Showdown
Corkins:
Opponent:
The flop was a big sweat for Corkins as it came to give him a Royal Flush draw! The on the turn was an ugly card though, and the that filled out the board was a miss as well. Failing to get over the hump, The Cowboy has been hogtied and run out of the room.

The river was a third diamond, the . That slowed down the action, with both players checking.
"Ace is good," Nguyen's opponent said. "You have an ace?" Neither player tabled their cards, prompting the dealer to instruct Nguyen's opponent to open his hand. He showed for a pair of jacks, then clapped his hands when Nguyen mucked.
