Bryn Kenney Wins $100K King Poker Cup Super High Roller in Jeju

The King Poker Cup’s $100,000 King’s Charity Super High Roller took place on Jeju Island, South Korea, drawing 71 entrants and creating a $6.67 million prize pool. After two days of play, a final table of nine featured regular high‑roller competitors including Jesse Lonis, Tom Dwan, Elton Tsang and Bryn Kenney.

Kenney emerged as the champion, securing a seven‑figure payout and a heads‑up chop with Lonis that awarded each player $1.6 million. The win pushed Kenney’s career live‑tournament earnings past $90 million, making him the first player to surpass the $70 million, $80 million and $90 million milestones. Elton Tsang finished third, while Tom Dwan recorded his first tournament cash since the 2024 WSOP Main Event.

The event highlighted the growing popularity of high‑roller poker in South Korea, with Jeju Island becoming a hub for major series such as the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series.
