Kelly Kim will enter the November 9 WSOP Main Event Final Table as a significant short stack with 2,620,000 in chips, about 8,000,000 less than the next shortest stack.

The Korean-born Southern Californian has been a successful tournament pro for more than 4 years now with Kelly Kim’s first major cash occurring in the NL Hold’em Event at the 2003 Grand Slam of Poker in the form of a first place finish and $21,900. Even if the short-stacked Kelly were to go out in 9th place on November 9, Kim would receive $900,670.

This is Kelly Kim’s second year in the WSOP with 2 cashes in the 2007 WSOP: 57th in the $1,000 NL Hold’em with Re-Buys event and 28th in $2,500 NL Hold’em event.
