Bryn Kenney Extends Lead with Triton Poker Jeju Victory
Kenney Dominates $50K Turbo Bounty Event
Bryn Kenney’s remarkable run at the Triton Poker Jeju series continues. The high-stakes pro extended his lead atop the all-time money list with a victory in Event #10: $50,000 No-Limit Hold’em Turbo Bounty Quattro, earning $839,000. This triumph propels Kenney’s live tournament earnings past the $75 million mark, solidifying his position as the leader on The Hendon Mob’s prestigious leaderboard.
Final Table Fireworks
The $3.26 million prize pool attracted some of the biggest names in high-stakes poker, including Chris Brewer, Chance Kornuth, and Erik Seidel. Kenney entered the final table second in chips, trailing only Jon Ander Vallinas. With no player holding a dominant stack in the turbo format, the action was intense from the start.
Early Eliminations
Kornuth, Stephen Chidwick, and Seidel were among the early casualties, busting in ninth, eighth, and seventh place, respectively. Brandon Wilson, one of the year’s top performers in high-stakes events, followed in fifth place ($246,000) after his ace failed to hold against Yang Chongxian’s superior hand.
Kenney’s Dominance
Kenney then eliminated Michael Soyza in fourth place ($307,000) after winning a crucial race. Chongxian fell next in third place ($378,000), setting up a heads-up battle between Kenney and Vallinas. The Spaniard ultimately succumbed when his 9â™ 7â™ couldn’t outrun Kenney’s K♦Q♥, earning him $577,000 as the runner-up.
