In the last
few years James has proved that he is a tournament player to be aware of. He
has cashed on three different continents in the three main events of the poker
world - WSOP $10k, Aussie Millions A$10k and WSOPE £10k.
James’
career got off on a strong start when through a $75 feeder satellite qualified
to WSOPE and eventually finishing 9th in the Main Event for over
$120k. He has also had success in Europe and the UK with a 2nd place
in the Baltic festival in Estonia and a win in the DTD monthly deepstack in
2009.
“I’m very
excited to be signing with RedKings, the site has always been a favorite of
mine and hopefully I can be a good representative of RedKings, I also very
grateful to Poker Icons for getting me this opportunity�? - says James Keys.
James is at
the moment in Australia playing the main event of Aussie Millions, and with the
new sponsor his schedule for 2011 is packed with events, including among others
GSOP Live series, WSOP and EPT events.
''We are
delighted to welcome James to Team RedKings. It’s great to have one of the UK’s
most exciting new and upcoming poker pros be part of the Team especially now as
we host our very first major live tournament in the exciting city of Bucharest
on February 2nd �? - Says Michael Golembo, CEO of RedKings. |
