Dominic Dominates

From the Empire...

I joined the action very late in the day, but from what the rail were saying, the big 20k pot already in the middle was created when Dominic Kay called Steve Billirakis' raise and two calls on the streets before Dominic himself bet out on the river.

The board was {J-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{A-Spades} and the bet was 11,500, but after keeping the action-hungry audience waiting for what seemed like an age, the WSOP 2007 bracelet hero made the fold, much to the apparent relief of Dominic.

I don't know Dominic particularly well, but I have met him at the felt a few times, once on the final table of a festival side event. On both occasions he was a very tricky customer, always prepared to make moves if he felt it was the right thing to do.

His live experience might not be as vast as the majority of the field, but with the 42,000 he now has in front of him after the aforementioned hand, he is more than capable of making an impact and surprising a few people.
