The victory added another $480,000 to the poker pro’s growing bankroll
Bryn Kenney has once again proven why he’s at the top of poker’s all-time money list by winning the 2024 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown High Roller event. Held at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in South Florida, the $25,500 buy-in event attracted 67 entries, resulting in a prize pool of $1,654,900. Kenney emerged victorious, taking home $487,990 and adding another title to his already impressive career.
Kenney, a 37-year-old World Series of Poker bracelet winner, continues to dominate the poker scene, with this latest win bringing his career earnings to nearly $67.3 million. This victory marks his 31st title and his first since taking down a massive $6.86 million prize at the 2023 Triton London Invitational. His latest triumph also earned him 504 Card Player Player of the Year (POY) points, boosting his standing in the 2024 POY race.
The final table shared an incredible battleground, with several high-profile players in the equation. Alex Foxen, who led the final nine players into Day 2, was among the last to fall. He finished third, taking home $220,100. Foxen’s elimination came after a dramatic hand against Kenney, where his Ace-Queen was bested by Kenney’s Ace-King.
Daniel Sepiol, who has had a stellar year with seven final-table finishes, was the last player standing between Kenney and the title. Heading into the heads-up battle, Kenney held a relevant chip lead over Sepiol. The two players eventually struck a deal, with Kenney taking the title and $487,990, while Sepiol secured $390,810 for his runner-up finish.
Kenney’s latest win not only proves his status as the top earner in poker history but also highlights his enduring skill and dominance in high-stakes tournaments. With this victory, Kenney continues to set the standard for success in the world of professional poker.
