Sykes Likes

Down to just 11,500, Jamie Sykes made his move, pushing all in from under the gun. With plenty of chips to spare, overnight chip leader Andrew Pantling made the call to bring us to a showdown.

"Brilliant," smiled Skykes as he was shown {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, the young Brit's {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} somehow heading to the flop in dominant shape.

The first three community cards seemed harmless enough: {Q-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{2-Spades}, and despite a {Q-Clubs} turn serving up those inevitable counterfeiting draws ("Don't be silly," he warned), the river came the {9-Spades} to double him through.
