Hoyt Corkins Captures WPT Southern Poker Championship

DoylesRoom.com's Hoyt Corkins now ranks among the most successful WPT poker champions. Late Wednesday evening, Corkins captured the WPT Southern Poker Championship title, the second WPT title of his career. With 14 cashes, 6 final tables and 2 championship titles to his name, the DoylesRoom.com player has won well over $3 million in WPT events. His total lifetime winnings exceed $5 million.

Corkins began final table play on Wednesday afternoon with the chip lead and while he bounced around throughout the course of the afternoon, he ended the tournament right where he started, ahead of everyone else.

For his second WPT title, Corkins added $739,486 to his WPT winnings.
