Derek Chin Doubles though Mark Sykes

Derek Chin moved all in preflop for his last 91,000 and Mark Sykes moved all in behind him for more. Everyone else folded and they turned over:

Chin [5c][5d]
Sykes [Ah][Qc]

The board ran out [7h][6h][3d][Kc][6d] and Chin won the pot to double up. Sykes was left with only a few thousand chips.

However, in the minutes after being crippled, Sykes has been all in twice and won both pots. He is back up to around 60,000.

On the first hand, in his own words, he "fist pumped snap shoved" with [7d][4s] and beat out pocket fives. The second hand he was all in with [4c][4d] and his opponent's [Ah][Th] did not improve.

Sykes wanted me to mention that he does not run as good as Dave Hickman...
