O'Neill Pulling Away
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Jon Kyte limped on the button with A♦9♣ and Umberto Ruggeri called from the small blind with 7♦4♥. Padraig O'Neill checked his option from the big blind with K♦8♥ for a three-way pot.
Action checked to Kyte on the 10♠K♣K♠ flop and he bet 250,000. O'Neill raised to 800,000 with his trip kings and Kyte called.
O'Neill continued for 1,000,000 on the 5♣ turn and Kyte again called.
The 6♥ completed the board and O'Neill fired a final time for 2,800,000 — sending Kyte deep into the tank.
Kyte burned up three time extensions as he pondered his decision, but eventually put calling chips into the middle.
O'Neill showed Kytle the bad news and with that pot, O'Neill now holds a commanding chip lead.
