The early chip leader was Ka7ieVick; he/she jumped up to 45,000 (from a starting stack of 5,000) after eliminating online pro Jamie Sykes, turning a flush with 5c-4c versus A-Q on an A-x-Q-x-x board.

It's going to be great fun, looking forward to seeing @AdrianNMP, @ChapInAChair, @jonny2192, @NeriPoker and @DavidPUnibet again, meet some new people, and hopefully meet Jamie Sykes Sorry to say I'm definitely not coming to this one now as I've bubbled something like 6 of my last 8 finals and completely bricked the others.

It’s been a very short trip for Leeds’ own Jamie Sykes. In his own words, he had apparently three-bet with :::As:::Ks getting two callers and fired a bet on a J-7-2 (two diamond flop) with just a solitary caller. Sykes had intended to give up on the jack on the turn but his opponent checked back to see an offsuit 8 on the river. His foe now bet just 2,000 into a pot of 6,000 after Sykes checked a second time and the Englishman opted to check-raise all in for 11,000.
