Kelly first struck gold back in 2010. At age 21, playing his very first World Series of Poker, Kelly would outlast a stellar field in the $25,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em Six Handed event, adding over $1.3M to an already building bankroll.

Apart from his win last night, the young American has already earned four other cashes so far this summer and shows no signs of slowing down.
Interestingly enough, four of his five scores have been in Limit events (Omaha Hi-Low, 2-7 Draw Lowball, Hold’em). With a slew of No-Limit events on the schedule in the coming weeks, it will certainly be interesting to see how Kelly will adapt to the change in format.
