Bryn Kenney extended his lead atop The Hendon Mob all-time leaderboard with a victory on Thursday in the $50,000 Triton Poker Jeju No-Limit Hold'em Turbo Bounty Quattro event for $839,000.
The high roller now has over $75 million in live tournament cashes, a sizable advantage over Justin Bonomo who is in second place with just over $65 million.
Kenney Dominates Triton Poker Event
Kenney is on a heater this week as he first finished runner-up in Event #8: $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em 7-Handed for $1,897,430. The New York native then came back to enter Event #10 (the ninth tournament of the series as Triton doesn't host an Event #4), which he won for his fifth Triton title.
The tournament had $3,260,000 in the pot and featured some of the best high-stakes pros in the game. Chris Brewer (14th place for $55,500), Chance Kornuth (9th place for $84,700), and Erik Seidel (7th place for $151,500) were among the 15 players who cashed in the turbo bounty event.
Triton Poker Jeju Event #10 Final Table Results
| Place | Player | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bryn Kenney | $839,000 |
| 2 | Jon Ander Vallinas | $577,000 |
| 3 | Yang Chongxian | $378,000 |
| 4 | Michael Soyza | $307,000 |
| 5 | Brandon Wilson | $246,000 |
| 6 | Leon Sturm | $192,300 |
| 7 | Erik Seidel | $151,500 |
| 8 | Stephen Chidwick | $115,500 |
| 9 | Chane Kornuth | $84,700 |
Kenney entered the final table second in chips, not far behind Jon Ander Vallinas. No player had a monster stack, which was to be expected in a turbo format. Kornuth, Stephen Chidwick, and Seidel all had fewer than 10 big blinds and didn't last long, busting in ninth, eighth, and seventh place at the final table, respectively.
The final table began to quickly condense after Brandon Wilson, one of the top performing high-stakes tournament players this year, busted in fifth place ($246,000) against Yang Chongxian when the biggest ace held up through the river.
Kenney would then win a race to bust Michael Soyza in fourth place ($307,000). Chongxian was then the eventual champ's next victim and bounty in third place ($378,000).
Vallinas, a Spanish pro, then took his shot at heads-up play against Kenney, and decided to jam all in with 9?7?, only to be called by Kenney's K?Q?, which hit a queen to take down the final pot of the tournament. The runner-up received $577,000 plus bounties as a consolation prize.
The winner, however, earned just over $1.3 million with bounties included. Triton Poker's series in Jeju runs through March 15. Event #9: $150,000 No-Limit Hold'em 8-Handed was down to the final eight players out of 128 at the time of publishing.
