Level 14 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jon Kyte had a huge grin on his face when the live reporting team walked past him.

"13 million!" he said. "Easy game, you just play. Won a small flip against Martin Finger. He shoved all-in from the small blind for about 14 big blinds with sixes. I called with ace-seven. Seven on the river. That guy (pointing to another player at the table) was unlucky to have pocket nines. He folded on the river on my big bet."

He then whispered: "I had queens, you can put it on the blog. He's Welsh, he doesn't read it anyways."
