Level 28
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
In the hijack position, Mark Sykes came into the pot shoving all in for 690,000 chips. Two seats over, Jesus Cabrera reraised all in himself, and the blinds folded to let the two mix it up for a big pot. Cabrera had Skyes crushed:
Sykes: 
Cabrera: 
The flop rolled out blanks, coming 
to put Sykes two cards from the exit.
Turn: 
! Not so fast, as they say in the parlance of our times. Sykes finds his two-outer, now just one card from a massive double up. When the safe 
filled out the board, Cabrera was forced to part with about a third of his stack, slipping back down to 1.58 million. Sykes is hot on his heels now, sitting pretty with 1.47 million after that come-from-behind double.
