Timothy Kelly Timothy Kelly has not only reached the nine-handed final table of the partypoker WPTDeepStacks Main Event but has done so in style. Kelly, the General Manager at Tournament Poker Edge , looks to have been gorging on training videos on his site judging by the colossal chip lead he has. WPTDeepStacks Main Event Final Table Chip Counts
1 Timothy Kelly Canada 100,646,702 2 Jerry Odeen Sweden 46,724,570 3 Felix Stephensen Canada 23,978,706 4 Joakim Andersson Malta 22,337,628 5 Philipp Hofbauer Austria 17,084,060 6 Simon Brandstrom Sweden 16,202,453 7 Michael Skelnicka Czech Republic 13,077,543 8 Thomas Hueber Austria 12,942,088 19 Volodymyr Palamar Ukraine 7,256,700 Kelly sits down at 7:05 p.m. BST on October 26 with an arsenal of 100,646,702 chips.
