Margolin Wins a Flip Against Kyte
Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Jon Kyte opened from under the gun to 600,000 and Timur Margolin shoved 4,325,000 from the big blind. Kyte took around a minute, but eventually made the call.
Timur Margolin: 8♥8♦ 
Jon Kyte: A♦10♠
Margolin was ahead with his eights, and needed to hold otherwise he would be out in fourth. A flop of 7♥9♠3♥ kept his eights ahead, as did the Q♣ turn.
Only an ace or a ten would see Margolin eliminated, but he survived as the 2♦ river earned him a double-up.
