Bryn Kenney
Long Beach, New York, United States
Bryn Kenney sits at the top of the all-time live tournament money list, the first player to pass $90 million in recorded winnings. Born in Long Beach, New York in 1986, he was a Magic: The Gathering prodigy before poker, and brought the same obsessive study to the high-roller circuit that grew up around Triton, PokerStars and the Aria in the 2010s.
The number that defines his career is £16.9 million ($20.6 million) for second place in the 2019 Triton Million for Charity in London — the largest single tournament payout in history, agreed in a deal with winner Aaron Zang. Around it: a $6.86 million Triton win in 2023, the 2019 Aussie Millions Main Event, super high roller titles in the Bahamas and Monte Carlo, and two WSOP bracelets, the most recent in 2024.
Kenney plays almost exclusively at the highest buy-ins, so the place to watch him is a Triton stop or the Las Vegas summer.
