Cowboys for Corkins

Hoyt Corkins opened to 7,200 from the hijack seat and Aaron Nadell called in the cutoff. The button and blinds released, and the flop fell {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}.

Corkins continued for 12,000 Nadell raised to 28,000 and Corkins re-popped it to 60,000.

Nadell jumped up in his seat. "How much are you playing?" he asked Corkins. Corkins made all of his 97,200 chips visible, and Nadell made the call.

The turn brought the {j-Clubs} and Corkins instantly moved all in.

"How much?" Nadell asked the dealer.

The dealer cut it down and verified that it was 97,200. Nadell let out a huge sigh and slid in enough chips to call.

Showdown
Corkins: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Nadell: {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}

The {7-Hearts} on the river did not improve Nadell's hand, and Corkins' cowboys held. Corkins doubled to 330,000 chips while Nadell slipped all the way down to 85,000.
