Kelly Looking to Parlay Satellite Win Into Big Payday
One of the players in action here on Day 1B is Brian Kelly, originally from Schenectady, New York but now living in nearby Clearwater, Florida.
Earlier this week, Kelly won his way into the Main Event in one of Tampa Bay Downs' many satellites.
"I took the $100 that I won from Wednesday's tournament, and registered for the $240 $60K guaranteed AUPT main event satellite at the Silk's poker room in Tampa," Kelly posted to social media. "80 people enrolled and 30 walked away with a voucher. I was one of them. There's an article in Ante Up magazine about this on page 26. The winner will get a picture on the cover, a trophy, and an entry into the AUPT championship in July. This was an easy win for me. There was never any real doubt. It was like a walk in the park."
Only time will tell if Kelly will be able to parlay his satellite into a cash here in the 2019 Ante Up Poker Tour Tampa Bay DownsMain Event.
