Corkins Ropes a Double Up

Hoyt Corkins was all in for just over 4,000 before the flop holding {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}. The cowboy had gotten himself very low in chips, but he was in good shape to double up against his opponent's {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. A clean board of {4-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {5-Hearts} meant that he would do just that, holding his ace-king to bump him up to 8,900. It's still a long, hard climb back for Corkins, but he's at least taken the first step now.
