J.P. Kelly (Aylesbury, UK native) acomplished something that no other englishman had done before. He won a WSOP (Europe) bracelet and of course juicy £136,803 first-place prize. (aprox 220.000 usd)

Last Hand:

On a Qd7h10d board, both players got all the chips in, Kelly held Kd8d for the flush draw and was up against Dunlop’s Jd2d lower flush draw. The turn came the 5c and a 3d on the river, giving Kelly the higher flush.

He said:

"The first one was a bit sweeter because of the achievement. This one I just wanted to prove I was good enough to take down one of these events and I was lucky enough to do it."

 

btw, he also won a WSOP event this summer (1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em, 190K Price) and several tourneys among the entire europe earning more than 400.000 usd.
