Hoyt Corkins finally broke his curse at the World Series by winning a bracelet that he has been chasing for 15 years.

The $2,500 NLHE Six handed is always a fast paced exciting event and this one was no different.

The final table lined up as follows:

  • Seat 1: Terrence Chan - 502,000
  • Seat 2: Alan Sass - 1,217,000
  • Seat 3: William Lin - 726,000
  • Seat 4: James Pittman - 127,000
  • Seat 5: Kelly Vander-Mheen - 307,000
  • Seat 6: Hoyt Corkins - 1,300,000

Early on it was short stack James Pittman who made his move and was the first to be eliminated. His A-9 did not improve against the pocket 8’s of William Lin. Pittman left in 6th place with a prize of $63,118.

On the very next hand the two big stacks tangled and Alan Sass found himself on the wrong side of the battle when Corkins completed a full house on the river taking a huge pot off Sass and taking a big chip lead of over 2.1million.

Shortly after Corkins picked up pocket aces and eliminated the unfortunate Kelly Vande-Mheen who exited in 5th place for $96,431.

Sass was the next to be eliminated, completing a disappointing final table for him. He was well ahead with A-K when he got all his money in the middle and it was once again Corkins who busted another player when his A-10 connected with the 10 on the river to send Sass home in 4th place good for $132,471.

Then Terrence Chan took over the role of eliminator when his two pair beat William Lin to send him away in 3rd place taking with him $196,758.

Heads up went on for 20 or so hands before chip leader Corkins finally finished off Terrance Chan. Corkins held :kd :10s and Chan held :ad :4d and the board came :9s :8d :8h :kc :6s to seal Corkin’s victory and to award the prized bracelet that he has been chasing for so long. He also picked up the first prize of $515,065.

The final standings for Event #30 of WSOP 2007 were:

  1. Hoyt Corkins — $515,065
  2. Terrence Chan — $287,345
  3. William Lin — $196,758
  4. Alan Sass — $132,471
  5. Kelly Vande Mheen — $96,431
  6. James Pittman — $63,118

There’s still time to qualify for the WSOP main event by winning one of the many satellites taking place on Pokerstars.
