Zhao Briefly Overtakes Kyte; Kyte Shoves on Wagner to Reclaim the Lead
Action folded to Jon Kyte who raised to 220,000 in the small blind. Cheng Zhao called in the big blind and they went heads-up to the 7♣K♦A♦ flop.
Kyte then bet 250,000 and Zhao called. The turn was the A♣ and Kyte checked over to Zhao, who bet 425,000. Kyte folded as Zhao overtook him on the leaderboard.
The next hand, Mark Helou tanked for a moment under the gun before folding. "He's the best player here. Just sitting there enjoying himself, making 20K an hour," Kyte said.
"Crazy good," Padraig O'Neill added.
Kyte then raised to 125,000 on the button and Adam Wagner three-bet to 450,000 in the big blind. Kyte moved all in and Wagner snap-folded.
"Bad timing," Wagner asked.
"For you, yes. Finally have a hand on the button. Tries to bully the bully," Kyte replied.
