The Dutch pro first cashed in an EPT Main Event back in 2010 and has 15 career cashes. Metaal is the grizzled veteran left in the field. Other players who will also be returning include Padraig O’Neill (2,700,000), WSOP Europe champion Max Neugebauer (1,090,000), and Govert Metaal (930,000).

She found aces to triple up and keep her EPT dreams alive heading into Day 5 as she looks to become the fifth woman to win on the EPT, along with Coren Mitchell, Liv Boeree, Maria Lampropulos, and Sandra Naujoks. The champion of EPT Malta in 2015 will have a chance to join Vicky Coren Mitchell, Mikalai Pobal, and Mike Watson as the only two-time EPT champions. Niall Farrell ended up in seventh place with 2,695,000. The two players who will be in the spotlight tomorrow with a chance to make history, however, are further down the leaderboard. 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.
