Thus, Bryn Kenney overcame a field of 71 entries, which distributed a total prize pool of US$ 6,674,000. The American secured the title by defeating Jesse Lonis in heads-up, while the Chinese Elton Tsang completed the competition podium.
Additionally, the tournament also marked the return of Tom Dwan to the prize money. The American player received a prize in live events for the first time in over two years. Besides him, David Miscikowski also reached the final table and finished among the top seven.
However, the victory took Bryn Kenney past the mark of US$ 92 million in career earnings. In this way, he further extended his lead at the top of the “All-Time Money List,” opening more than US$ 12 million difference over the second place, Stephen Chidwick.

Kenney eliminates Tsang and beats Lonis in the final
Thus, during the final stretch, Jesse Lonis dispatched Tom Dwan in sixth place and secured a spot in the 3-handed alongside Bryn Kenney and Elton Tsang. Then, Kenney eliminated Tsang in third place when his A-K held up against the opponent’s A-Q.
Shortly after, Bryn Kenney and Jesse Lonis started the heads-up with very balanced stacks. Before the decision, the two reached a deal to split most of the prize money and continue playing only for the event trophy.
In the conclusion, Bryn Kenney prevailed once again. His suited JT faced K-2 of Jesse Lonis, hit a T on the flop, and secured the title. In the last WSOP (World Series Of Poker), the American finished second in the 250K High Roller and took home US$ 2,776,634.
