About Hoyt Corkins

Hoyt at the final table of the PPT event at Bay101 in San Jose, CA.
Born in rural Alabama, Hoyt grew up getting after school lessons in poker from his father. His father taught him his "no fear" style of playing.

As a teenager, sometimes Hoyt would get to play in the weekly cash game his father hosted. He didn't play many hands, but observed his father's plays and how players reacted to them. Hoyt accredits much of his skill in reading players to the knowledge he gained from his father.

Hoyt parlayed this knowledge into a WSOP Championship in 1992 (in Pot-Limit Omaha), a million-dollar win in the WPT event at Foxwoods in 2003, over 25 "in the money" finishes and over 20 final table apperances in major live tournaments.
  • " He's a great bluffer who constantly puts people to the test."

    - Phil Hellmuth

  • "One of the more deliberate players in the game"

    - Jonathan Grotenstein /All-In Magazine

  • "Demonstrating an uncanny fortitude for tournament hold'em and raw courage that is easy to glorify but impossible to learn... It's certain that Corkins has a unique talent for playing a short-stack and intimidating opponents, even great players."

    - Nolan Dalla - World Series of Poker
