Kim Kelly, who prefers to be called "KK," is a professional poker player from Whittier, CA. Kelly holds a B.A. from the University of California - San Diego and prior to playing full time, made his living as a business analyst.

KK learned to play poker from friends and has been doing so for about 13 years. This is his fifth year playing in the World Series of Poker and with 31 major tournament cashes to his name totaling over $315,000, he is far from an amateur. Kelly's biggest score came when he took 17th in the WPT - LAPC Main Event in 2006 for a $46,502 payday.

Kelly is currently single and rocks out to hip-hop and pop music when he plays cards. In his downtime, he enjoys sports, movies and traveling and plans to take a nice vacation should he win the tournament.
