Hoyt Corkins Las Vegas Home Robbed

(3 votes)

Hoyt Corkins Home RobbedOver the weekend Las Vegas Poker Pro Hoyt Corkins had his home robbed of many prized possessions. Hoyt was made aware of this while vacationing in Florida with his family, as his manager discovered the aftermath of the robbery while checking on the home. You can only imagine the disgust and shock that Hoyt must have felt when he received the phone call from his manager to inform him of the devastating news.

After gaining access to the home by cutting a hole in the wall leading from the garage to the living room, the thieves helped themselves to many of his valuables. Some of which can’t be replaced, such as his WSOP bracelets and a rare coin collection. The taking didn’t stop there, as they even loaded up a piano(!), a GMC Denali with a Doyles Room vehicle wrap (!), and a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

There’s much speculation as to who the thieves may be, some suggest it’s an inside job. The Spanish Tails development is located in an exclusive section of Las Vegas and has a gate with a wall surrounding the complex. Other poker pro’s such as Paul Wasicka live here as well, the community is home to many other Las Vegas based executives that enjoy the serene, secure setting.

When reached for comment, Hoyt had this to say:

"I am clearly devastated by this. My hope is that the poker community will help me try and recover the irreplaceable items that were taken," said Corkins, "I truly appreciate the outpouring of love and support I have received."

Local authorities are investigating but no word yet on any suspects.

The burglary must have been an inside job for the culprits to be able to take so much and know where to cut the hole. I hope whoever is responsible is caught. Hopefully if they try to sell the bracelets some honest person will recognize them and they'll be returned to Hoyt.
