McMillin Ousted Set Over Set
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
With already a bit in the pot on a 
flop, a player bet 7,000 before Gonzalo Fernandez raised to 19,000. Mark Max McMillin went all-in for 30,000.
The early better folded and Fernandez called.
McMillin: 
Fernandez: 
McMillin with a set was in a world of hurt with his opponent holding a better set. The 
on the turn opened up a few more outs for a straight. However, the 
on the river sent McMillin out the door and Fernandez over the six-figure chip count for the first time today.

Kyte is Back
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
We noticed Jon Kyte back in action in the corner of the poker room. He shared with PokerNews, "Things are going better."
We took a look at his stack and indeed they have been with his stack at around 48,000 in chips.
When we asked Kyte if there was ever a doubt he was coming back into today's field, he shared, "No, never a doubt. I just wanted to go to dinner before playing again."
Kyte already nailed down his seventh Hendon Mob flag of the year when he took seventh place in the High Roller for €9,500. However, it isn't all about the flags for Kyte as he has his eyes on the Main Event trophy and the six-figure first place cash.
