Norway's Jon Kyte has accomplished quite a bit on the poker felts across a variety of games. He now will have bragging rights over many of his friends including the President of the Norwegian Poker Association and one of the best mixed-game players by most people's standards in Tobias Leknes, who was influential in designing the structure.
Kyte battled through a field of 60 entries including 28 players that advanced to Day 2 in the inaugural €550 Mixed Main Event HORSES for €8,825.
There appears there was some creative deal-making between the final three players based on the payouts. We will try to grab Kyte for a quick interview today. If not, we will at a minimum find out more about the deal after the players had some rest.
In the meantime, a massive congrats to Jon Kyte for shipping the first The Festival Series €550 Mixed Main Event HORSES in history, and well done to the skilled group of players that cashed.
