Bryn Kenney becomes the first to reach $90 million in live tournament earnings
Bryn Kenney has rewritten poker history once again. The American high roller was previously the first to win $70 and $80 million in live tournaments, and now he has become the first to reach the $90 million mark.

Kenney conquered this new peak thanks to his win in the King's Charity $100,000 Super High Roller. Heads-up, he made a deal with Jesse Lonis and earned $1,600,000. Kenney's total live earnings now stand at $90,761,206. In second place is Stephen Chidwick with $79,029,052. Rounding out the top three of the All-Time Money List is Jason Koon, who has earned $77,032,156.

Before the King Poker Cup, Bryn Kenney had already booked three seven-figure scores in 2026. He earned $2,946,648 for second place in the €250,000 Super High Roller at the EPT in Monte Carlo, and at the WSOP he took $2,776,634 for second place in the $250,000 Super High Roller and $1,041,908 for third place in the high roller with a $50,000 buy-in.

Kenney's best cash came in 2019, when he finished second in the £1,050,000 Triton Million for Charity and received $20,563,324.
