Kevin Farry: A Pearl River Man

Kevin Farry
Kevin Farry
Kevin Farry is originally from Pearl River, NY and as his friends say, "once a Pearl River man, always a Pearl River man." He currently lives in Manassas, Virginia and is a successful sub-contractor building water pump stations and other projects. A graduate of Virginia Tech University, he got his Masters degree in Civil Engineering.

Kevin won his Main Event seat via a $500 satellite at the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City.

"I told him he was wasting his money-- was I ever wrong!" said Kevin's sister, Kim shaking her head and laughing. Kim is here ringside rooting for her brother, along with his friends Jimmy and Mike. The package Kevin won paid the top 9 finishers the $10,000 Main Event buy-in along with $5,000 for travel and expenses.

To parlay $500-- to $15,000-- to perhaps $8,250,000 is a dream come true. The worst he can do now is to take home $381,402, still a remarkable return on investment. Best of luck to Kevin.
