Jon Kyte opened to 225,000 on the button and it was folded to Grigorii Rodin in the big blind, who shoved for his last 2,470,000. Kyte quickly called to put Rodin at risk and hands were revealed.

Jon Kyte: Q♠Q♥

OHairDJ

Nível 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jon Kyte opened to 175,000 from the cutoff and was called by Umberto Ruggeri on the button with A♦10♠. Marle Spragg then shoved for her last 975,000 from the big blind and Kyte shoved as well, which got a fold from Ruggeri.

Marle Spragg: A♠4♠
Jon Kyte: K♣Q♦

Spragg held a slight lead, but the 3♣5♣4♣ flop gave a flush draw in addition to his overcards to get pulses racing.

The 7♦ turn was safe for Spragg, but the K♦ river paired Kyte's king and Spragg's deep run ended in eighth place.

Jon Kyte: A♦J♥

Segre Chechin moved all in for 725,000 from under the gun before Marle Spragg rejammed from the small blind after using a time bank. Preben Stokkan folded in the big blind. The cards went on their backs after the outer table finished the hand that they were on.

Serge Chechin: 10♣9♠
Marle Spragg: A♠Q♦

The Q♥10♠3♦ flop gave both players a pair, but Chechin was then drawing dead after the Q♣ turn. The 3♠ river completed the runout and Chechin exited in 13th place.

Dejan Jakovljevic Eliminated in 14th Place (€50,800); Max Neugebauer Eliminated in 15th Place (€50,800)

dsalituro

Nível 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Max Neugebauer raised to 100,000 in the cutoff before Jon Kyte moved all in from the small blind. Dejan Jakovljevic tanked for a moment in the big blind before calling for his last 850,000, while Neugebauer also called for around 800,000.

Max Neugebauer: A♠K♣
Dejan Jakovljevic: 9♠9♣
Jon Kyte: K♠5♠

"I f**ked up," Kyte said after Neugebauer called. The flop came 2♣K♦7♠, giving Kyte and Neugebauer top pair but Neugebauer remained in front with his ace-kicker.

The turn was the K♥ and both players improved to trips. "See? Cooler, trips against trips," Kyte joked with Neugebauer. "I'll take a deuce. I'm not greedy," Kyte added.

The day belongs to Kyte, however, as the 5♥ spiked on the river to give him a full house and send both players to the rail.

"Don't film me any more. It's ridiculous," Kyte said, hiding his face as both Jakovljevic and Neugebauer were sent to the rail. Neugebauer took 15th, while Jakovljevic finished 14th with the bigger stack.

dsalituro

Nível 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Padraig O'Neill raised to 100,000 in early position before Jon Kyte three-bet to 320,000 in middle position. Niall Farrell then four-bet to 675,000 in the hijack.

O'Neill folded, but Kyte moved all in and Farrell quickly called for 2,100,000.

Niall Farrell: Q♠Q♥
Jon Kyte: A♥K♠

"I always have the pair against ace-king. Finally time for ace-king to win," Kyte said heading to the 3♥7♣8♣ flop, which kept Farrell in the lead. The turn, though, was the K♣ and Kyte made top pair to move in front.

Farrell watched helplessly as the 4♣ completed the board and sealed his elimination in 16th place.

"So annoying," he said as he got up from his seat.

"You're the flip king," tablemate Dejan Jakovljevic told Kyte as the chip leader stacked up nearly 10,000,000.
