Kyte Calls with King-High

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Padraig O'Neill, with 73, opened to 750,000 from the small blind and Jon Kyte called from the big blind with K10.

Kyte called for 450,000 on the QQ6 flop which brought in the 2 turn to keep Kyte's high-card in front. The players checked it through to the 6 river. O'Neill bet 250,000 and was called.

Kyte's king-high took it down and he reclaimed some chips.

O'Neill Pulling Away

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Padraig O'Neill
Padraig O'Neill

Jon Kyte limped on the button with A9 and Umberto Ruggeri called from the small blind with 74. Padraig O'Neill checked his option from the big blind with K8 for a three-way pot.

Action checked to Kyte on the 10KK flop and he bet 250,000. O'Neill raised to 800,000 with his trip kings and Kyte called.

O'Neill continued for 1,000,000 on the 5 turn and Kyte again called.

The 6 completed the board and O'Neill fired a final time for 2,800,000 — sending Kyte deep into the tank.

Kyte burned up three time extensions as he pondered his decision, but eventually put calling chips into the middle.

O'Neill showed Kytle the bad news and with that pot, O'Neill now holds a commanding chip lead.

Kyte Raises the River

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Jon Kyte limped on the button with A5 and Padraig O'Neill checked his option with 109 from the big blind.

Both players checked on the 955 flop and then O'Neill led out for 700,000 after the 6 came on the turn. Kyte called.

O'Neill led out for a paltry 250,000 after the 7 landed on the river and Kyte raised to 1,050,000 with his trip fives.

O'Neill used up a time extension before calling and was shown the bad news to give Kyte some much-needed chips.

Umberto Ruggeri opened to 525,000 on the button with K10 and Padraig O'Neill three-bet to 1,400,000 from the small blind with JJ. Ruggeri called.

Ruggeri called an 800,000 bet from O'Neill on the 633 flop and then both players checked after the A fell on the turn.

The 3 completed the board and O'Neill used up a time extension before sliding 1,000,000 into the middle. Ruggeri decided to look him up and O'Neill tabled his full house, which was good for the pot.
