Corkins Cool Under Pressure

When we last caught up to Hoyt Corkins we saw him raising under the gun. Corkins was only able to convince one other player, the Big Blind to join him for a flop. After calling the bet the Big Blind immediately checked in the dark.

After {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} all rolled off the action was back on Corkins who checked as well. The turn brought the {J-Diamonds} as well as a bet of 4,000 from the Big Blind. Ever silent Corkins waited a few moments, before reraising and making it 8,000 more to go.

A distraught Big Blind stared at the cowboy for a few minutes before begrudgingly throwing his cards in the muck.
