He finished 87th at EPT London last October, although he did win side events at both EPT Monte Carlo and EPT Barcelona earlier this year. The Norwegian pro already has more than $1.2 million in live earnings, but this is his deepest run yet in an EPT Main Event. Kyte was also on the right side of two massive coin flips, besting Cesar Garcia with two queens against ace-king and then eliminating Marius Kudzmanas near the end of the night in what turned out to be the biggest pot of Day 4. One card away from elimination, Kyte spiked a king on the river to double up off a stunned Lupuleac. Kyte was all in with king-jack on a jack-high board against Alexandru Lupuleac’s ace-jack.
But Kyte encountered some turbulent wind on his way to taking back a commanding lead. Kyte, who began the day as chip leader, finished back atop the leaderboard with 6,515,000 as 16 players made it through with their dreams of making the final table still intact. Jon Kyte was pulling all the right strings on Day 4 of the PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague Main Event.
