Kyte Kicks Out Retiere
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jon Kyte made a raise to 45,000 from under the gun before Romain Retiere jammed 235,000 chips in from the hijack for an all-in bet.
The action folded back to Kyte, who asked how much it was. When Retiere answered that it was around 11 big blinds, Kyte responded: "If it's 11 big blinds I am not going to nit-roll you."
He indeed made the call after the count was confirmed, and the cards went on their backs.
Romain Retiere: A?K?
Jon Kyte: 8?8?
"Oh, some outs," Retiere uttered when 10?4?J? was flopped. However, neither the 6? turn or 4? river brought one of them, and Kyte's pair of eights won the flip to eliminate the Frenchman in 40th place.
