Bryn Kenney became the first poker player to surpass $90 million in live tournament cashes after winning the King's Charity Super High Roller in Jeju. His $1.6 million payday extended his lead over Stephen Chidwick atop The Hendon Mob rankings.

Bryn Kenney has added another milestone to his record-setting poker career after becoming the first player to surpass $90 million in live tournament earnings

The achievement came following a victory in the King's Poker Cup $100,000 King's Charity Super High Roller in Jeju, further extending his lead at the top of The Hendon Mob's all-time live tournament money list.

Kenney entered the event with a comfortable advantage over the rest of the field in lifetime live tournament cashes. 

While there had been discussion about whether Stephen Chidwick could eventually challenge for the top position in 2026, Kenney's latest result has significantly widened the gap.
The New York high roller claimed the title after reaching a heads-up deal with Jesse Lonis. Under the agreement, both players received $1.6 million, with Kenney officially taking the victory.
The seven-figure payday pushed Kenney's career live tournament earnings beyond the $90 million mark, making him the first player in poker history to achieve that milestone. 

He had previously become the first player to surpass both $70 million and $80 million in live tournament cashes.

Kenney now holds an advantage of approximately $11 million over Stephen Chidwick on The Hendon Mob rankings. Chidwick remains about $1 million away from reaching the $80 million milestone.

Jason Koon is the only other player to have crossed $70 million in live tournament earnings, with career cashes standing at approximately $77 million.

Kenney's latest victory not only delivered another prestigious high roller title but also strengthened his position at the top of poker's all-time live tournament earnings leaderboard. 

With more than $90 million in recorded live cashes, he continues to set new benchmarks in tournament poker.
