Tim Baker

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

Jon Kyte raised to 60,000 from early position and was three-bet to 160,000 by Enrico Camosci in the seat to his direct left. After it folded back to Kyte, he four-bet shoved for Camosci's remaining 1,000,000 chips. Camosci made the call.

Enrico Camosci: J♠J♥ All in
Jon Kyte: A♦Q♥

The flop of J♣8♥5♠ propelled into the lead with top set, meaning Kyte needed running cards to bust him. The Q♠ came on the turn, and the J♦ hit the river, improving Camosci to quads.

Player	Chips	Progress
Enrico Camosci	2,300,000 1,100,000	1,100,000
