Skyed Up

With the flop reading {9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades}, all the chips hit the middle with Jamie Sykes' tournament life on the line with {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs} versus the {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} of former chip daddy Javed Abrahams. The turn was a ragtastic {2-Spades}, which was soon followed by an equally harmless {7-Clubs} river, which, mysteriously, Phil Laak predicted.

"I felt it," claimed Laak who, I should add, is madder than a box of monkeys in an asylum. "I have DTP, Defocused Temporal Perception, and I could see that card coming."

Regardless of Laak's incredible powers, Sykes has taken a big bite out of Abrahams' stack and is now up to around 70,000 as a result.
