Kelly Kim, a 
poker pro from California, fought his way to the final table of 2008 World Series of Poker main event, and just a few days after play ended for the summer, Card Player TV got a chance to get to know him. The interview with Kim can be found on CardPlayerTV.com.
The CardPlayer.com player database provides a brief bio on Kim, reproduced below:
Born in Korea, Kelly Kim now resides in Whittier, California, where he works as a professional poker player. Kim graduated from UC-San Diego and used his degree to work as a business analyst. He made the decision to play poker full time and has had several major-tournament cashes. His first came in 2003 at the Hustler Casino in a $300 buy-in event. Since then, he’s been working his way up the ranks. At the 2007 World Series of Poker, Kim cashed twice and decided to come back in 2008 for another shot at a bracelet. He paid the $10,000 to enter the main event and now finds himself as one of the final nine remaining players who are anxiously awaiting the start of final-table play in November. Kim will enter the final table as the short stack, but he is guaranteed to earn at least $900,670 for his efforts.
