Bryn Kenney doubling his money in the World Series of Poker Paradise (WSOPP) Super Main Event turned out to be a historic min-cash.
The New York native turned a $25,000 buy-in into $50,000 with a 403rd place finish in a no-limit hold'em tournament that had $72 million in the pot. He won just a fraction of first-place money. But, with that cash, he became the first player in history to reach $80 million in live tournament earnings, according to The Hendon Mob database — barely.
Kenney will enter 2026 with $80,035,491 in cashes dating back to 2007, but his record could be in jeopardy in the coming year, as another high-stakes superstar isn't far behind.
