Kelly Kim Poker Player -- 2008 WSOP final table player Kelly Kim

Kim was born in Korea but now lives in Whittier, California. He's been a professional poker player since 2003 and is 31 years old. Before he turned pro, he was a business analyst and has a degree from UC San Diego. He comes into the final table as the short stack, with only 2,620,000 in chips.

"It'd be different if I had 15 million chips - I know I'm a huge underdog and I know I need to get lucky. I'm a tremendous favorite to finish 9th, but the fact that I'm still alive is enough for me. I'm not going to move in on the first hand, I'm a very good short stack player."

Kim cashed three times in the 2007 World Series of Poker and had won over $300,000 in tournaments prior to entering the 2008 WSOP Main Event.
