Final Table Bios: Seat 5 - Dominic Kay
Chip Count: 982,000
I first met 30-year old Dominic Kay last year at the Gutshot World Series of Poker. Back then he was just as animated as his is now, dwelling for lengthy spells to insure a correct decision, refusing to hide his emotions when face with a tricky decision and favouring Negreanu-esque analysis of hands by assessing situations out loud. What truly stuck in my mind, however, was that he was a very capable, tricky, yet instinctive player who wasn��t afraid to make a bold move or pass a big hand if he felt it was the right thing to do.
Playing this tournament free of charge, Dominic was fortunate enough to be put into the comp by a fellow online player who had qualified via a Betfair freeroll but was ultimately unable to play. Dominic didn��t know the individual, but was a friendly face at the right time and so was offered a 50-50 deal, meaning he could win half a million pounds from the comfort of his own chair.
Having confined himself to small comps in the London area, Dominic doesn��t have the most extensive of experience at this level, his major wins coming online. Recently, he triumphed in a big online comp for $20k, but in his own words, ��I tend to have won a lot of smaller sums��.
