It was one of the biggest buy-in tournaments in WSOP history. It attracted just about every big name in poker. And, it had a memorable breakthrough career victory for a player with just about every accolade in the game prior to this victory, other than a WSOP gold bracelet. Indeed, the $25,000 buy-in Six-Handed No-Limit Hold’em championship had just about everything compelling in a poker tournament, including multiple record-smashing headlines.
Dan Kelly, age 21, was the winner of the $25,000 buy-in Six-Handed No-Limit Hold’em championship at the 2010 World Series of Poker. This marked his first career WSOP gold bracelet victory.
