Bryn Kenney secured a seven-figure result at the $100,000 King’s Charity Super High Roller at the King’s Poker Cup in Jeju, South Korea, pushing his cumulative live tournament earnings past $90 million and extending his lead atop The Hendon Mob all-time money list, according to PokerNews.
PokerNews reported that Kenney and Jesse Lonis reached a heads-up chop, with each player receiving $1.6 million. Per the article, Kenney had built a 2.5-to-1 chip advantage over Lonis before the deal was struck. The final hand saw Lonis move all in holding K♣2♠ against Kenney’s J♥10♥, with a ten appearing on the flop and holding through the river to close out the event. Elton Tsang finished third for $880,000, Xuanyi Wang placed fourth for $630,000, and a player identified as Xing took fifth for $450,000.
PokerNews reported that Tom Dwan finished sixth for $350,000, and that the result represented Dwan’s first tournament cash since a 593rd-place finish in the 2024 WSOP Main Event. On the all-time earnings front, PokerNews reported that Kenney is the first player to have reached the $70 million, $80 million, and $90 million milestones in live tournament cashes.
According to the article, Stephen Chidwick sits approximately $11 million behind Kenney and is about $1 million short of the $80 million mark, while Jason Koon — reported at $77 million in career live earnings — is described as the only other player to have reached $70 million.
The King’s Poker Cup and K Poker Cup at Les A Casino at Jeju Shinhwa World are scheduled to run through August 10, according to PokerNews.
