Poker Player's Home Burglarized

By launchpoker, Sep 5, 2008 Hoyt Corkins

When pro poker player Hoyt "The Alabama Cowboy" Corkins returned to his home in Las Vegas, Nevada, after a month long trip, he found a few things missing. Not only were three vehicles gone but $10k in cash, a safe, and three championship bracelets. Corkins won those bracelets at the World Series of Poker (2) and the World Poker Tour (1). The bracelets are symbols of Hoyt’s accomplishments: the 48 year old poker pro has been a poker player from age 19 and is considered one of the best in the world.
