This part of Bryn Kenney’s $80M record stood out to me
Bryn Kenney just became the first player to pass $80M in live tournament earnings, but what caught my attention wasn’t the number itself.
He didn’t cross it with a huge win or a final table run.
It came from a simple min-cash in the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event.
A 403rd-place finish for $50K doesn’t look special on paper, yet that one cash was enough to push him past the mark. In a way, it feels like the most accurate snapshot of his career — not one big moment, but years of consistently surviving at the highest buy-in levels.
With players like Chidwick and Koon closing the gap, this record might not be safe for long.
Still, a pretty “poker” way to make history.

Not one big moment? He won the biggest prize recorded in tournament poker ever.

hi bryn
What difference does it make? He's still pond scum.
I'm sure all of his million and multi-million wins were much bigger moments for him ... and also his first ever 5 figure cashes and 6 figure cashes were probably bigger moments that helped launch his career.
Maybe that is not his story - I haven't looked in to it - but I know for me those would be the big moments.
Crossing the $80 million mark wouldn't feel significant once you have already racked up all those other big wins.

why create an account here just to make an AI generated post about a completely uninteresting little fact.
Not trying to **** on your obviously personal take. But the fact that out of over 80,000,000, one score accounts for 25% of his earnings is the part that should stand out to you. It is more surprising that someone like Stephen Chidwick (the player attitude that you seemingly admire) is going to most likely overtake Kenney next year in gross winnings.
Wowow lolol
