Riding Off Into the Sunset

A player in middle position raised to 1,425 before the flop, and both the cutoff and button made the call. When the bet came to the small blind, Hoyt Corkins moved all in for about 60,000 on top. The original raiser quickly called and the other two opponents folded in turn.

Showdown
Corkins: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}
Opponent: {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}

The flop was a big sweat for Corkins as it came {J-Spades} {10-Spades} {10-Clubs} to give him a Royal Flush draw! The {4-Hearts} on the turn was an ugly card though, and the {J-Hearts} 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.
