Hoyt Corkins Eliminated

Pot-Limit Omaha:

We really don't know how Hoyt Corkins and Mikael Thuritz got all the chips in the middle. There was 53,000 that had been pulled into the pot and the cards were already on their back with the turn on board. Corkins showed {a-Diamonds} {a-Spades} {q-Diamonds} {7-Spades} against Thuritz's {a-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {k-Clubs}. Corkins was drawing and didn't get there with the {k-Diamonds} river. It turned out that Thuritz's 287,800 chips just barely had Corkins covered. He's now out and Thuritz has about 650,000.
