The WSOP bracelet winners are coming thick and fast, but we’re still keeping an eye on what’s happening away from the Rio. For the rest of the world, King’s Resort continues to lead the way from Rozvadov, Czech Republic, and Ireland is now back open for business, too. And at least one Las Vegas pro is showing his penchant for success in other competitive endeavors, taking his second major title in competitive tennis.

WPTDeepStacks Online Main Event Partypoker
$171,804
Kelly needed to beat an international line-up of grinders, including a former WPT champion, to win the latest WPTDeepStacks main event on Tuesday. He bested a field of 1,041 in the $1,100 MTT, carrying a significant chip lead throughout most of the tourney. Within minutes of the start, he eliminated former WPT UK champion Simon Brandstrom. That hand increased his lead to a point where the result was almost a formality. By the time the Canadian was heads-up against Jerry Odeen, he had a 6x chip lead, which was enough to carry him to his first WPTDeepStacks title.
