A Real Nail Biter

(Lucas Jackson/Reuters)

It was a real nail biter. Eating legend Kobayashi was 2 hot dogs behind Joey Chestnut with seconds remaining in this years Nathan's Famous Hot dog eating contest. In a desperation move, the wiley Kobayashi employed the controversial "cannonball technique". The strategy worked and when time expired, Kobayashi and Chestnut were tied, 59 hot dogs in 10 minutes. That led to overtime- speed eating 5 more dogs. Chestnut dug deep and nipped Kobayashi in OT to claim the $10,000 prize. Wow, that was intense.
