Hailing from London, England, this is the fourth Aussie Millions in-the-money finish in the past two years. It's also his largest. Last year, Keys placed in the money in the AUD$1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Bounty Event before going on to place 65th in the Main Event. This year, Keys already has one final table in the AUD$1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout. He took sixth in that event for AUD$9,480 and this will be his second final table of the series.

Also on Keys' tournament record are six World Series of Poker cashes. Back in 2007, he finished in ninth place at the WSOP Europe Main Event, taking home £61,540. The following year he placed in the money in that event again for a 36th-place finish. Then in 2009, Keys cashed in the WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas.

Outside of his deep run in the WSOP Europe Main Event in 2007, which netted him $123,925 after the currency conversion, Keys' largest score on record is a second-place finish at a €1,000 No-Limit Hold'em event at the PokerStars Baltic Festival in Tallinn. He won over $72,000 there.

In total, Keys has over $400,000 in live tournament winnings and has already locked up at least another AUD$130,000 here. He comes into the final table second in chips with 2.395 million and will be looking to go a lot deeper than he's already made it.
