Sikova sent to the rail

The table of death has claimed a high profile victim, as overnight chip leader Jaroslaw Sikova let his aggressive streak get him into trouble.

The Pole (pictured) had been whittled down to around half the stack he brought to the table at 3pm CET, through a combination of mistimed bluffs and misfortune, but his luck ran out entirely as he went down in a huge pot.

It was the player in seat 1 who raised and called Jaroslaw's 3-bet OOP before the flop fell A-K-x. He then check-called all three streets as a Q and 10 followed, luring the free-firing Sikova into putting all his chips in the centre.

Flipping the nut straight, he forced the one-time monster stack to muck his hand and walk away from his chance to win a share of the €169,000.
