The road to PokerStars European Poker Tour glory always has plenty of twists and turns, and the record-breaking EPT 5,300 Prague Main Event was no exception.

Jon Kyte, who had led the tournament from Day 3, entered the finale with 229 big blinds and a historic chip lead, one that was assumed to be unassailable. Padraig O’Neill had other ideas and was unexpectedly awarded the final EPT Trophy of the 2023 season after overcoming the Norwegian in heads-up play.

Jon Kyte has been living every poker player’s dream over the last few days at the 2023 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague. The Norwegian poker pro ended Days 3 and 4 as the chip leader in the 5,300 EPT Main Event and he maintained his position atop the counts as the series showstopper gears up for its final day.

Just five of the record-breaking 1,285-entry field remain, with Kyte’s stack of 22,900,000 (229 big blinds) leading the handful of hopefuls. His grip on the chip lead was rarely threatened throughout the day, thanks to a hat trick of early eliminations that put him into the stratosphere. He will go into the finale with more than half of the chips in play.
