Seat 9: Dana Kellstrom (147,000)
Dana Kellstrom from Stevenson Ranch, California, is a 47-year-old poker player and entrepreneur. He holds over $165,000 in career tournament earnings coming into this event and with this final table here, will add a minimum of $24,235 to that total. On his record are four World Series of Poker cashes. One of those came in 2009 and three in 2010. His best finish money wise came in the 2009 WSOP Main Event where Kellstrom placed 620th for a payday worth $21,365.
Kellstrom's largest score is $38,000 and came from a 61st-place finish in the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event. Not bad at all for a $10,000 buy-in event that attracted 1,560 players.
Kellstrom is married and has four children. He'd like to give a shout out to them along with the cigar boys from back home. He's one of the shorter stacks to start the final table, but anything can happen in this game.
