Micheal O’Neill raises to 6,000 from under the gun and Jon Kyte calls from the big blind. They check all the way to the Diamond 8Club 5Heart 4Heart KSpade K river on which Kyte overbets for 26,000.

O’Neill goes into the tank, stares at his watch and the tournament clock before he rolls the mental dice on a call. Kyte tables Diamond KSpade 8 for the nuts, kings full of eights. “Pretty good board,” the Norwegian says with a smirk on the face.

Jon Kyte – 260,000 (87 bb)
Micheal O’Neill – 130,000 (43 bb)
