Event 1: Tax Man

$400 + $50 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

John "Sykes" Out Opponents

After flopping set over set to knock out Austen Johnson in the tournament's first 10 minutes, John Sykes (Brooklyn, NY) is still on a roll.

On back-to-back hands, Sykes shows down a queen high flush and then hits a set of 7s to scoop both pots to take his stack to 65k.

Sykes says it's quiet in his office as he took the day off from his job as a tax lawyer.

Players are on a 10 minute break.
