Devon Kelly captured the Halloween Hold 'Em title Saturday afternoon as the Gilroy Community Services Department hosted the 19th in a series of No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em events at the Senior Center. Kelly stopped the father-son duo of Ken and Joe Shapero to earn the championship of the 64-person one-day tournament. The Shaperos were members of the team champion Ace's and 8's. The next scheduled tournament, Super Showdown IV, is Jan. 31.
