Sykes Drags Healthy Pot with Top Two; Says Hi to His Dad
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
With about 160,000 in the middle the flop read 10?6?5?, and Mark Sykes bet 45,000 before the button put in a raise to 105,000. Sykes made the call.
The 3? fell on the turn and Sykes check-called another bet of 100,000.
When the 7? completed the board on the river, Sykes checked once more and the button fired 200,000. Sykes thought about it for a couple of seconds before cutting out the chips to call.
The button sighed as they rolled 2?2? and Sykes raked in the pot with 10?7?, making top two on the river.
"Say hello to my dad," Sykes said to PokerNews.
