Tony Lay opened with a raise to 75,000 and it folded around to Kyle Keranen in the small blind who called. The big blind folded, and the flop came {3-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Keranen plucked 130,000 from his mountainous stack and tossed the chips forward. and Lay quickly called.

The turn brought the {Q-Diamonds} and another bet from Keranen, this time for 180,000. Lay thought a moment, then let his hand go.

Keranen continues to pressure his table, playing most hands (from all positions) and accumulating chips to increase his currently leading stack.
