Hoyt Corkins is short stacked and all in preflop with A-Q against Vitaly Yarkov's [10s9h]. Yarkov is hoping to collect his second bounty, as he also busted David "The Dragon" Pham earlier in the tournament.
El flop viene [Qh8c7s], and Hoyt pairs his queen while Yarkov flops an open-ended straight draw. The turn card is the [Jc], and Yarkov clinches the hand with a queen-high straight. (The meaningless river card is the [Ks].)
Shooting Star Hoyt Corkins is eliminated in 21st place. Vitaly Yarkov collects the $5,000 bounty, and his second autographed t-shirt.
Vitaly Yarkov - 210,000
Hoyt Corkins- Salir en 211er lugar ($25,000)
With Hoyt's elimination, Kathy Liebert is the only remaining Shooting Star in the tournament. She has a very healthy chip stack, with more than 800,000, so hers will be a tough bounty to collect.
