Mark Sykes Eliminated in 3rd Place ($53,126)
Level 28
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
The last hand of the level...
On the button, Mark Sykes opened the pot by moving all in for the 480,000 chips he had left. Next door, Jesus Cabrera called to put Sykes at risk, and Matthew Waxman folded out of the way to let them go at it. Cabrera could not believe he was ahead as the cards were turned up:
Sykes:
Cabrera:
There was no love for the queen-ten on board as the dealer ran out , all blanks. Cabrera's kicker plays, and he and Matthew Waxman are playing heads up for the title. For Sykes, it's all over in third place, and he'll stop by the payout desk to pick up $53,126 on his way out the door.
