Hoyt Corkins Eliminated in 7th Place (£15,302)

Hoyt 'The Alabama Cowboy' Corkins has just been eliminated from the tournament in 6th place by Richard Gryko. Here's how the hand went down:

(Hold'em)

Gryko opened with a raise to 13,500 from early position and action folded around the table to Corkins in the big blind who made the call, leaving himself just 4,500 behind.

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Corkins painfully checked to Gryko who tossed a handful of red (500) chips into the middle -- a bet worth 4,000. Corkins then threw the rest of his chips in, raising Gryko a single red chip, and Gryko made the call, tabling {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}; Corkins' {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts} was dominated.

The {J-Spades} fell on the turn giving Corkins a few outs for a chopped pot, but the {10-Diamonds} came on the river, cementing the pot for Gryko.
