Corker for Corkery

Ken Corkery could barely watch as his {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} tackled the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} of William Martin in a classic, but crucial coin-flip. With his back to the felt, the Irishman remained on edge as the dealer popped out the ensuing board...

{4-Spades}... {6-Clubs}... {J-Spades}... {9-Hearts}...

{Q-Hearts}

"Ooh," gasped the table, the results of which led the Irishman to believe he had been rivered.

"Come back," someone said. "You won."

"Oh," exhaled Corkery relieved. "I thought it was a king".

Corkery -- 41,000
Martin -- 26,000
