Jon Kyte
Jon Kyte

Mohamed Aissaoui raised to 60,000 from under the gun before Denas Pranaitis three bet to 150,000 from early position. Pedro Neves four bet all in for 1,020,000 from the hijack before Jon Kyte five bet all in for more from the cutoff.

Hao Sent to the Rail By River

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Dongze Hao was all in preflop holding the {3-Hearts}{3-Spades} vs the {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} of Vladas Tamasauskas.

Hao was safe through the flop which came {4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{q-Hearts} although he now had to fade a heart as well. The turn was a harmless {10-Clubs} but the river was not so harmless as the {a-Spades} came off to pair up Tamasauskas and sent Hao packing.

O'Kearney's Small Stack Survives

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

Facing the big blind and ante next hand, Dara O'Kearney moved all in under the gun and was immediately at risk when Jon Kyte three-bet. Folds around the table left the hand heads up, and the two players revealed their holdings.

Dara O'Kearney: {q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Jon Kyte: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

O'Kearney was trailing before the flop, but moved in front after {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} hit the board. The turn {k-Clubs} and river {9-Hearts} changed nothing, and O'Kearney survived to play on.
