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.
