Corkins Sends One Packing

Hoyt Corkins has been his usual aggressive self so far today. In this last hand he made it 4,000 to go (just before the levels went up) and called a re-raise to 12,100 from the player in the small blind.

The flop was {5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and the small blind check-raised Corkins' bet of 7,000, putting himself all in for 30,400 more. Corkins made the call.

Corkins: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The {j-Clubs} which came on the river gave Corkins something to sweat, but his hand stayed ahead as the river came {3-Diamonds}.

Daniel Negreanu, who is extremely short-stacked was in the button on that hand and said he folded {9-}{q-} and would have played the hand had Corkins not raised preflop.
