James Keys has continued on his march up the chip counts by taking down a pot in a hand against Kurt Haindl over on table 14.
Haindl open limped from under the gun and when Ramin Henke folded, Keys made it 3,200 to play. This was enough to force everyone at his table to fold, except Haindl who made the call.
Flop: - Haindl checked, Keys bet 3,300 and Haindl called rather quickly.
Turn: - Again Haindl checked, Keys paused for 15 seconds or so and then put chips worth 8,800 into the pot, which turned out to be enough to find a fold.
Keys now has 132,000 chips and the Aussie Million Main Event runner-up is a real threat in this tournament
