Ben Mayhew, who has been friends with James Keys since the age of five (and taught the lad the game of poker) has given me some insider information on this dark horse. He is a student at Durham University, and has done work experience for Betfair, the site on which he qualified for just $70. His regular game online might be "Twenty-five/fifty" -- that's $0.25/$0.50 -- so this tournament represents some serious money for him. He's been playing for three years so doesn' t lack experience, but has been waiting for a break just like this to try his hand at the major tournament scene.
