Kyte Flops a Boat; Takes the Lead Once Again
Level 37
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Jon Kyte limped on the button with J♠5♠ and Padraig O'Neill checked his option with 10♠4♠.
The A♦4♣5♦ flop gave each player a pair and O'Neill check-called a 1,200,000 bet from Kyte.
O'Neill checked again on the J♣ turn and Kyte bet 3,500,000, which got a fold from O'Neill.
On the next hand, O'Neill limped on the button with K♣10♠ and Kyte checked his option with 5♦4♣.
Both players checked on the 4♠4♥5♠ flop and then Kyte check-raised a 1,000,000 bet from O'Neill to 2,750,000 on the 10♥ turn. O'Neill called.
Kyte shoved on the J♥ river, which was enough to put O'Neill all in for his last 11,800,000. O'Neill thought better of it and let his hand go, giving Kyte the chip lead once more.
