We would be willing to bet serious money that if you told a young Bryn Kenney by the time he was 32 years old, he would have won more than $55 million from live poker tournaments and would be topping the all-time money listing, that he would have laughed in your face.

Bryn Kenney Calling His Shot for the Number 1 Spot Who is Bryn Kenney? Kenney has been a regular in the super high roller circuit for several years, but began his poker career as more of an online player. Bryn Kenney Wins Seminole Hard Rock Rock & Roll Poker Open High Roller Aug 21, 2019 Poker's All-Time Money Leader Bryn Kenney: $250 Million In Career Earnings Is A Possibility. There are all kinds of personalities in the poker world. Some players can be downright obnoxious but there is one player that takes top prize in rudeness.

Bryn Kenney BIRTHPLACE: LONG BEACH, NY. Bryn Kenney Signs with GGPoker Top poker pro Bryn Kenney has inked a sponsorship deal with GGPoker, a poker room serving poker players outside of the U.S. As part of the deal, Kenney will sport a GGPoker patch at live events as well as contribute to product development and expand the brand’s reach.

Kenney is probably laughing right now because earlier this week, he scooped a massive £16,890,509 ($20,563,324) prize when he finished second to Aaron Zang in the largest buy-in poker tournament ever run, the £1,050,000 Triton Million – A Helping Hand for Charity event sponsored by partypoker LIVE.

This monster-sized prize took Kenney’s earnings for 2019 to an almost unbelievable $29,822,761 and pushed his total live poker tournament earnings to $55,505,630, a cool $10,245,582 more than his closest rival Justin Bonomo — that was, before the latter won the Triton £100,000 Short Deck Main Event for £2,670,000 ($3,240,886).

The Start of a Glistening Career

Magic: The Gathering was Kenney’s passion as a youngster, as highlighted in this article by PokerNews’ Paul Seaton but it would soon be poker where Kenney focused his attention — and with spectacular results.

A regular in the biggest poker tournaments online, Kenney gained a reputation for being a high roller. The British sometimes call someone like Kenney a “Marmite” character, that is you either love him or detest him with no middle ground. We get the feeling that a.) Kenney thrives off any attention and b.) he does not care about what people think about him; he just lets his poker game do the talking.

Always prepared to speak his mind and never one to sit on the fence when posed with a dividing question, Kenney has become an interviewer’s paradise, always delivering nuggets of gold when he candidly fields questions.

The same can be said of his Twitter account where earlier this year Kenney said he wanted to take on pop sensation Justin Bieber in an MMA fight, before saying he would pay $1 million to fight Bieber shortly after claiming the No. 1 spot on the all-time money listings.

While climbing the online poker ranks, Kenney was one to flash some of his winnings via expensive purchases. Some may recall the massive diamond-studded dollar pendant Kenney would wear on a chain to live poker events, or the lavish watches he would sport on his wrist, some reported to be worth up to $100,000. All that aside, Kenney's skills on the felt and his amazing results in the live poker world over the past few years speak volumes.

_{Kenney has removed his alias' from his PocketFives.com profile so we do not know how much he has won from online MTTs. His account says he last cashed online in 2008 but he has definitely cashed online since then.}

Bryn Kenney's Exceptional Live Poker Record

Bryn Kenney Net Worth

The first recorded cash on Kenney’s Hendon Mob profile is from May 2007, some 12 years ago. A then 21-year-old, Kenney finished second of 184 entries in a $1,070 buy-in event at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona for $34,446.

His first six-figure prize came three years later at the 2010 World Series of Poker (WSOP). An eighth-place finish in the $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em Six-Handed event netted Kenney $141,168. This sum was surpassed a week or so later when Kenney navigated his way to a 28th-place finish in the WSOP Main Event, a result worth $255,242.

By now, Kenney was becoming a regular feature on the European Poker Tour and in high buy-in events around the world. A $643,000 score in January 2011 got the year off to a flying start, Kenney’s reward for a third-place finish in the $100,500 Super High Roller at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA).

Kenney's First Seven-Figure Score

It would take another five years for Kenney to bank his first seven-figure prize and it was in the tournament that he finished third in previously. Kenney bulldozed his way to victory in the $100,000 Super High Roller 8-Handed event at the 2016 PCA and walked away with $1,687,800. While Kenney was already feared and respected in equal measure, this was the tournament that saw Kenney arrive and gave him room to maneuver in the biggest poker tournaments around the world.

Another million-plus score was handed to Kenney in November 2016 when he finished as runner-up in a Triton Poker Super High Roller Series event in the Philippines; Kenney returned home with the equivalent of $1,401,694.

A $969,075 haul and another outright victory came for Kenney a few months later at the 2017 PCA before Kenney locked up a career-best €1,784,500 ($1,946,911) prize when he won the €100,000 Super High Roller 8-Max event at the 2017 PokerStars Championship presented by Monte-Carlo Casino.

That would remain Kenney’s biggest cash until March 2019 when he finished second in another Triton Poker Super High Roller Series, this one in Jeju, South Korea, for a whopping $3,062,513.

Fast forward to August 2019 and Kenney can now boast of a $20,563,324 score.

Bryn Kenney is one of them genius young pros who traded Magic: the Gathering cards for what seems like the never ending stream of pocket aces. Even though the guy is in his early thirties he managed to crack the top 20 on the All Time Money list with more than $17,000,000 in tournament winnings. He has one WSOP bracelet to his name and after starting 2017 with back to back high-roller tournament wins on the same day, he's not showing any signs of slowing down.

Advanced Bluffs

Sometimes when we discuss certain player's strategy based on a single hand there's a great deal of ambiguity and guessing game involved - which is certainly not the case here. Kenney knew exactly what he was doing and he told everyone at the table as much which makes his play all the more impressive and easy to describe.

First of all, Bryn decided to just call preflop with KK which is not a default play but it was totally understandable given the table dynamics and stack to pot ratio. By 3betting Kenney would undoubtedly deny himself a lot of action from the loose open raiser and active players behind him. Checking the flop on a lockdown board like 7cAd7d made a lot of sense for all the players. Ross had some marginal showdown value, back door and his bluff cbet would've been much less successful in a multiway pot than it would've been in a heads-up one.

Kenney was in a classic way ahead/way behind situation so he couldn't really expect to get any value on this particular board and while Kilmashin could make a value bet in position he can't reliably go for three barrels and the flop was a good place to check and control the size of the pot given slightly shallower stacks. After what happened on the flop the initial raiser's perceived range wasn't very strong which made an already obvious call from Bryn even easier. However, a call behind him meant that Kenney had to reevaluate his stance in the hand and that resulted in some nice fireworks on the river.

Bryn realized that while Klimashin was fairly strong given his turn line he also had Ross still to act behind him which allowed Kenney to put a tremendous amount of pressure on the owner of the best hand by turning KK into an incredibly advanced bluff. Ironically, the fact that the Russian player was fairly competent, made this bluff easier to pull off, because Bryn knew that his opponent would account for the table dynamics and realize how bad his relative position in the hand was. Absolutely brilliant play and Kenney's comment after the hand left us no room for doubts.

Advanced Calls

Kenney is not only great when it comes to dishing out the bluffs, he's also exceptional at catching them, which we can clearly witness in this particular hand from the WSOP 2015 Event 2 final table. Bryn began the hand with a slightly loose open which was a great adjustment given that he was a chip leader. He decided to skip the cbet on a somewhat coordinated 9h3c7d flop that failed to hit his perceived range. His opponent followed suit and the 4 of clubs hit the board. Koren then decided that he might be in a good spot for a double barrel bluff but there were a number of things going against him.

First of all, after he decided to check back the flop on a somewhat coordinated board he could no longer reliably represent a number of strong combinations in his range. Second, of all, he was playing against a stellar opponent who had the benefit of holding two crucial blockers. Kenney knew that his Ac blocked a huge number of possible backdoor flush combos and 6c decreased the number of combo draws and second pair type hands available for Koren.
