Jon Kyte Eliminated in Three-Way All-In

Having lost a previous hand to be left with a mere 2,000 in chips, Jon Kyte is all-in preflop and so is Shmuel Bechor from the small blind against Lynn Gilmartin in the big blind.
Kyte's A♠ 2♠ needs help, as he is dominated by Bechor with 7♥ 7♠ while Gilmartin also has high cards holding the A♥ Q♥ .
The T♦ T♠ 6♦ T♥ K♣ board keeps the pocket pair ahead all the way and Bechor doubles for 266,000 while Kyte heads to the payout desk. Gilmartin's stack is cut into more than half as well.

Thomas Eychenne Earns a Double Thru Jon Kyte

Just before the end of the level, Jon Kyte raises to 11,000 and reluctantly calls the shove by Thomas Eychenne for 67,500. The French player has a premium hand in J♦ J♠ and Kyte needs to improve with the A♥ 7♣ .
However, there is no threat for Eychenne on the J♥ 9♠ 3♣ 6♠ K♥ board and he survives.
Georgios Skarparis is not as fortunate as he sends his entire stack over to John "Bert" Perry in the very last hand before the third break on Day 2.

Jon Kyte Gets Paid on the River

Micheal O'Neill raises to 6,000 from under the gun and Jon Kyte calls from the big blind. They check all the way to the 8♦ 5♣ 4♥ K♥ K♠ river on which Kyte overbets for 26,000.
O'Neill goes into the tank, stares at his watch and the tournament clock before he rolls the mental dice on a call. Kyte tables K♦ 8♠ for the nuts, kings full of eights. "Pretty good board," the Norwegian says with a smirk on the face.
