Sykes Victimizing Brikis

Mark Sykes was all in for about 110,000 before the flop with 
, and he ran them smack into Josh Brikis' 
. No worries, Mr. Sykes. The 
board was clean through fourth street, but the disastrous 
landed on the river to rob Brikdog of a big pot. He was forced to pay off his big debt, dropping to 270,000 while Sykes moved up to 225,000.
A few hands later, we picked up another pot between the two men as the board read 
. Brikis checked and called a bet of 19,500 from Sykes, and the 
filled out the board. When Sykes fired a final bet of 44,000, Brikis called again but we'd never get to see what he held. Sykes flipped up 
to cue a Brikis muck, and the former is on a real tear. He had a short stack of 51,000 chips at the last break, but he now finds himself flush with about 300,000 chips in front of him. Brikis, on the other hand, has had a frustrating level to drop his stack down to 205,000 or so.
