Bryn Kenney won the $100,000 King's Charity Super High Roller in Jeju for $1.6 million following a heads-up chop with Jesse Lonis. The payout made Kenney the first poker player to surpass $90 million in career live tournament cashes globally.

Bryn Kenney has extended his lead at the top of the all-time live tournament earnings leaderboard after securing another major high-roller title. 

The New York high roller pulled away from the competition with a seven-figure victory at the King's Poker Cup in Jeju, further securing his comfortable position atop The Hendon Mob charts.
Kenney earned his latest victory in the $100,000 buy-in King's Charity Super High Roller. He took down the event for a $1.6 million payout following a heads-up chop with Jesse Lonis, who received the exact same $1.6 million payout for his finish.

With this win, Kenney barely surpassed $90 million in career live tournament cashes. The victory marks another milestone in poker history, as Kenney is now the first player to ever reach $70 million, $80 million, and $90 million in live tournament earnings.
Prior to the event, there had been speculation about whether Stephen Chidwick might overtake Kenney on the all-time live tournament cashes list in 2026. 

However, barring an unexpected move by an operator to host a $1 million buy-in event before the end of the year that Chidwick wins, that shift will not occur.

Chidwick currently sits approximately $1 million short of the $80 million mark and remains roughly $11 million behind Kenney. 

Meanwhile, Jason Koon, who has accumulated $77 million in earnings, remains the only other player in poker history to have reached the $70 million milestone.
