Over the weekend during the 2012 PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker, Dan djk123Kelly (pictured) claimed his fourth WCOOP title, the most ever. This is the same Kelly who took home a World Series of Poker bracelet in a $25,000 No Limit Hold’em Six-Max event two years ago for over a million bucks.

The PokerStars Blog explained that Kelly is one of the most decorated players in poker: “Now 23 years old, djk123 has little left to prove in poker. He was already one of only three players to win three WCOOP bracelets and picked up a SCOOP watch to go with them earlier this year.” His four WCOOP titles have come in four different genres of poker: Razz, HORSE, No Limit Hold’em, and Eight-Game.

Kelly delivered a double knockout during the final table of Event #36 of the 2012 WCOOP, a $215 No Limit Hold’em Rebuy. He held K-Q of diamonds and had Skammesall-in with pocket nines and PSMozakall-in with A-5. Kelly spiked a king on the flop to pull ahead and wound up with fours-full by the river to send two players away and trim the table to four.

Entering heads-up, Kelly was a 4:1 dog against Turkey’s auercan (pictured). The latter asked Kelly if he wanted to make a deal, but the American transplant declined, instead typing “Let’s play” into the chat box. Sure enough, play continued with Kelly winning 11 straight pots at one point to bring the stacks back to even.

Then, auercan took a commanding chip lead after Kelly came out on the short end of a flush-over-flush situation. Kelly then doubled up after winning a race with fours against A-Q and then closed it out with aces against J-10 of clubs. The win was worth a rock solid $138,000, which he’ll take back to the Australia poker community. Here’s how the final nine cashed out. Six nations were represented at the final table:

1. Dan djk123Kelly (Australia) $138,355.00
