Una Kelly Has $29K to Her Name and a Bracelet on the Line

The $250 Seniors Deepstack final table is seven-handed at the Horseshoe, and the least-credentialed player at the table might be the best story of the summer.

Una Kelly has $29,007 in lifetime tournament earnings and one career final table — and she's sitting at one right now, seven-handed in the $250 Seniors Deepstack at the Horseshoe.

WSOP Event #395, a $250 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em event restricted to seniors, is down to its final seven. Kelly, a U.S. player with zero bracelets and zero rings, is among them. A win here would roughly triple her career earnings in a single night.

Who Else Is at the Table

Kelly isn't the only small-résumé player still alive. James Pixton has just $5,092 in lifetime cashes. Matthew Kyler has $2,130. This is a final table where most of the field has never been under the lights before.

But there's experience in the mix too. Judith Bielan brings two WSOPC rings, $310,755 in career earnings, and 13 lifetime final tables — by far the deepest résumé at this table. Kenneth Taffaro has a Circuit ring of his own, $192,211 in cashes, and seven final tables. Those two know what the rail sounds like when the money gets real.

Why This One's Worth Watching

The $250 Seniors Deepstack is the cheapest seniors bracelet event on the 2026 WSOP schedule. That price point fills the field with players who treat the buy-in like a bucket-list bet, not a line item. The result is a final table where a player with $2,130 in lifetime earnings sits across from a two-time ring winner — and both of them have a legitimate shot at gold.

Chip counts aren't posted yet, so there's no telling who's in front. What we know: seven players, one bracelet, and at least three people at that table for whom this is the biggest poker moment of their lives.

The stream is live now from the Horseshoe. No posted end time — this one ends when somebody stacks everybody else.
