Day 3 Live Updates
Alabama Cowboy Takes It - Hoyt Corkins Wins Event 30
5 years ago
It's all over. No surprise here but Hoyt Corkins has won Event 30. He was awarded the bracelet by Doyle Brunson himself. Terrence Chan has finished second, after a final hand that saw the Pride of Vancouver (that's Chan) raise and The Alabama Slamma (that's Corkins) move all-in. Chan (who, as we've all been reminded by classy Joy Miller, is not Johnny Chan), tanked for a few minutes but made the call, showing A♦ 4♦ to Corkins' K♦ T♠.
The flop came 9♠ 8♦ 8♥, keeping Chan in the lead, but the turn was the K♣ to give the cowboy the lead. The river card was the 6♠ and Corkins had the check-mark, winning his second WSOP bracelet and $515,065, as well as a prestigious PokerListings.com interview. Chan earns $287,345, which he will presumably not spend on a lifetime subscription to Playboy Magazine.
Congratulations to both finalists, and to the WSOP for yet another great tournament hidden from public view (that last bit was sarcasm, folks).
Confirmed - Heads Up!
5 years agoWe're heads up between Terrance Chan and Hoyt Corkins inside the Harrah's shroud.
William Lin was eliminated third and will take home $196,758 after playing A♠ J♥ as well as can be expected and losing anyway.
When the flop came A♥ Q♣ 3♣ and Terrance Chan checked, Lin bet out. Chan came over the top all in and Lin quickly called. Chan had only the A♣ 6♥, but the turn 6♣ gave him two pair and the 7♠ was a dud, ending Lin's tournament life.
Alan Sass went out fourth when he pushed with A♠ K♦ and got the call from Hoyt Corkins holding A♦ 10♥.
Sass stayed ahead on a flop pf 9♣ 8♦ 7♦ but Corkin's flopped the up and down straight draw. Sass doged a bullet with the A♥ turn, but was shot down by the 10♠ river.
He cashed $132,471 for fourth
Rumors - Heads-Up
5 years ago***Spoiler Alert***
Sorry to jolt you but we've just received word that we've gotten all the way to heads-up play between Hoyt Corkins andTerrence Chan. That means Alan Sass and William Lin have busted in unknown situations. We'll bring you the details as soon as we get them. Who knows we may have a winner momentarily (who else is betting on Corkins?).
Break and Chip Count

Vande-Busted - Kelly Vande-Mheen Eliminated 5th ($96,431)
5 years agoKelly Vande-Mheen raises from the small blind but Hoyt Corkins re-raises from the big blind. Vande-Mheen calls and we see a flop K♦ 7♥ 2♥ and Vande-Mheen moves all-in. Corkins immediately calls and shows A♣ A♠. Vande Mheen has 7♣ 6♠ for middle pair. The turn comes 4♠ and the river comes J♣.
Corkins has augmented his giant stack and Vande-Mheen is out of the tournament.
Pittman Pwned - James Pittman Eliminated in 6th ($63,118)
5 years agoUpdate Summary for Event 30 Day 3
5 years agoSass vs. Chan
Alan Sass and Terrence Chan are involved in a pot where they see a flop of 9♦ 5♦ 6♠. Both players check and the turn card comes 6♣. Both players check again and the river comes 6♥. Sass makes a large bet and Chan eventually calls. Chan has pocket deuces for the full house while Sass has J♣ 8♠ for nothing. Chan Takes the pot.
Sleeping Giant
Chip Leader Hoyt Corkins has been quiet in the first few hands letting some of the smaller stacks knock each other down. Don't expect this to last as Corkins will likely start throwing his weight around soon.

It's final table day and today it's all about Hoyt "Alabama Cowboy" Corkins. Corkins comes into today with $1,300,000 and a thirst for another bracelet. He should have a good fight on his hand with Alan Sass and Terrence Chan breathing down his neck, however. Here's a look at the complete chip stacks courtesy of www.worldseriesofpoker.com:
