Grigorit Rodin
Grigorit Rodin

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.

Grigorii Rodin: 2?2?
Jon Kyte: Q?Q?

The Q?8?9? flop left Rodin drawing nearly dead and the 4? turn sealed Rodin's fate.

An irrelevant 2? improved Rodin to a second-best set and Rodin was sent out in sixth place to end play for the day.

Jon Kyte opened to 210,000 from the button to 210,000 and Govert Metaal defended his big blind.

Metaal check-called for 360,000 on the Q?8?5? flop, bringing in the 7? turn. Metaal, with 1,500,000 behind, checked. Kyte jammed and was snap-called.

Govert Metaal: A?Q?
Jon Kyte: J?9?

Metaal had top pair, top kicker, while Kyte was double-gutted. The 10? peeled off on the river to complete Kyte's straight and bring the tournament to its final six players.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Marle Spragg
Marle Spragg

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.

Vincent Meli

Govert Metaal opened to 225,000 from early position with 10?10? and Vincent Meli shoved for his last 990,000 from middle position. Action folded to Jon Kyte in the big blind, who also went all in having both players covered. Metaal got out of the way and a showdown was held.

Vincent Meli: J?J?
Jon Kyte: Q?Q?

Meli would need some help to stay alive, but the 7?3?9?K?9? runout kept Kyte best with his ladies and Meli was eliminated in ninth place.

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

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Dejan Jakovljevic
Dejan Jakovljevic

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.

Niall Farrell Eliminated in 16th Place (�42,320)

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Niall Farrell
Niall Farrell

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.
