Jon Kyte Leads Final 9 Players Of The Main Event

Level 25: 20,000 / 40,000 ante: 40,000

Jon Kyte

After nine levels of play, Day 2 of the Manila Megastack 21 Main Event wrapped up with the Final 9 players locked in. Throughout the day, numerous contenders tugged at the top spot. In the end, it was Norway's Jon Kyte who earned the title with a stack of 3,215,000 (80 bb). One of Kyte's final hands was the elimination of Mike Takayama in 12th place.

Hot on Kyte's heels was one of six locals in the lineup, Kim Enriquez with 3,025,000 (75 bb). Enriquez earned a large portion of his stack when his straight crushed Dong Woo Lee's set. Another notable Filipino finding a bag was multi-decorated PokerStars champion Florencio Campomanes. Campomanes sealed his spot by delivering the final able bubble, eliminating Marco Espela in 10th place.

The finalists have now secured a payout of PHP 365,000 (~$6,280). The biggest slice of PHP 3,900,000 (~$67,090) is up for grabs when action resumes at 1pm on Monday, January 27, 2025.

Dong Woo Lee's Set Not Enough, Takes 14th Place - PHP 220,000 /~$3,785

Level 23: 10,000 / 25,000 ante: 25,000

Dong Woo Lee - 14th Place

Harsh finish for Dong Woo Lee in 14th place. Lee looked down at pocket jacks and raised it up to 50,000. This found two callers to the flop 8♦ 2♣ 7♠ . Lee's c-bet of 75,000 trimmed the competition to heads up against caller Kim Enriquez. On the turn J♠ , Lee improved to a set and barreled another 175,000, Enriquez replied with a check-raise all in. Lee called, putting his tournament life at risk.
