Aggression is the Key

In what is one of many formidable line-ups here today, Phil Laak opened for 1,200 from the hijack, Barny Boatman called the cut-off and James Keys three-bet to 3,600 on the button. Erik Cajelais called in the small blind, Laak folded, and Boatman joined the party.

Much like my early dates as a teenager, the promise of action quickly fizzled out as Keys took down the pot uncontested with a bet of 4,375 on the {4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} flop.

I don't think we've heard too much from him in previous updates, but Keys is highly rated young player in the UK, and someone who is destined to follow in the footstep of Jake Cody, Toby Lewis and James Mitchell by picking up a major win. He finalled this event in its inaugural year, so perhaps he'll improve on that finish this time around and reap the rewards his talent deserves.
