Keys Pushes Shorter Stacks Around

With his newfound decent stack, James Keys wasted no time in putting Thomas Merved into a difficult situation. Keys bet out 1,900 on the {A-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {K-Spades} flop, only for Merved to minimum-raise, leaving himself less than 7,000 behind.

Keys dwelled for a while, and dwelled some more, during which time I enjoyed a brief conversation with Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott and Neil Channing, concerning the current chip leaders, the ups and downs of the poker blogging/poker playing lifestyle, and the state of Channing's stack (around 15,000 currently). Then Keys reraised to cover Merved.

Merved now dwelled for a similarly long time, although the conversation rather died at this point, and eventually folded. A single railer applauded, briefly. Keys is now up to 24,000.
