Paul Snead Wins 2024 SHRPO Championship

Paul SneadThe $5,300 SHRPO Championship, which took place from August 9-13, cruised by its $3 million guarantee as 865 entrants generated a $4,195,250 prize pool that was paid out to the top 109 finishers.

Among those to make deep runs were Ren Lin (56th - $15,500), Kristen Foxen (52nd - $18,400), Kitty Kuo (42nd - $21,800), Andrew Moreno (24th - $31,000), Jesse Lonis (13th - $49,000), Jeremy Becker (10th - $63,000), and Loni Hui (7th - $103,000).

With just three players remaining, the SHRPO Live Reporting Team reported that it was Level 30 (100,000/200,000/150,000) when Snead raised to 500,000 from the button and then called when Brandon Kessous moved all in for 7 million from the small blind. Kessous held ace-jack but was behind Snead’s pocket jacks, which held to score the knockout.

When heads-up play began Snead held a slight chip lead over Clemen Deng and the two worked a deal that saw them both take home over $500K while Snead became the official champion.

“It feels amazing, I just feel like the Hard Rock is my home turf now,” Snead told SHRPO reporters. “I’m originally from New York and still live there and Florida now. Foxwoods used to be my home turf, but now I totally feel comfortable here and playing here. I love the way that they run tournament here, it’s just great.”

He added: “I was all in for my tournament life twice yesterday. I won a huge race with Ace-King against Queens, and then I came from behind all-in against Clemen Deng post-flop with Queens against Jack-10 on a Jack-10 flop. Those were the two hands where I could have been out of the tournament but I won. That hasn’t happened to me, so I feel really good … I’m ready to go hit the PokerGo studio for sure.”

Kenney & Sepiol Work Deal in $25K High Roller

Bryn KenneyThe biggest buy-in of the “Big Four” was Event #54: $25,500 High Roller, which attracted 67 entrants and awarded a $1,654,900 prize pool. According to live updates from the event, three players remained when Alex Foxen raised to 65,000 from the button with the blinds at 15,000/30,000/30,000.

Dan Sepiol folded from the small blind and Bryn Kenney three-bet to 300,000 from the big blind. Foxen four-bet to 535,000 and then called off the 965,000 he had behind after Kenney five-bet jammed. Foxen held ace-queen but was dominated by the ace-king of Kenney. The board ran out low cards and Kenney’s kicker held to send Foxen to the rail in third place.

Kenney held 5.4 million to Sepiol’s 1.3 million at the start of heads-up play, and the duo worked a deal that ultimately saw Kenney, as the chip lead, claim the SHRPO title plus $487,990 in prize money.

Kevin Ordet Spins It Up to Win $3,000 Deep Stack

Kevin OrdetEvent #50: $3,000 Deep Stack NLH featured a $1 million guarantee, but it fell a bit short of meeting it drawing a field of 323 runners.

After Jim Collopy exited in third place, the title came down to Trace Henderson and Kevin Ordet. The latter had begun the final table eighth in chips and wound up the victor in a rollercoaster heads-up match to win the tournament outright for $190,800.

Biography Bryn Kenney is an American poker player with over $65 million in career earnings, and is the All-Time Money leader for live tournament earnings. He is also a WSOP bracelet winner, having won Event #63: $1,500 Six-Handed 10-Game Mix at the 2014 WSOP. In April 2022, Kenney was accused of running a cult-like cheating operation by Martin Zamani. Kenney denied the claims on Twitter. Poker Achievements Kenney’s first recorded poker cash came in the late 2000s. In 2009 he reached his first WSOP final table, and made his second the following year while also making a deep run in the 2010 WSOP Main Event where he would eventually finish 28th for $255,242. This would remain the largest cash of his career until the following year where he finished third in the PCA $100,000 Super High Roller for $643,000. Kenney was a regular on the European Poker Tour, cashing in San Remo, Prague, Campione, Berlin and Barcelona in the early 2010s. In 2013, he won the 10,250 Master Classics of Poker High Roller for 102,960. In 2014, he won a WSOP bracelet in Event #63: $1,500 Six-Handed 10-Game Mix. The first seven-figure score of Kenney’s career would come in 2016 after defeating World Series of Poker Main Event champion Joe McKeehen heads up in the PCA $100K Super High Roller for $1,687,800 “It feels great, I didn’t have a Super High Roller win, and no tournament win that you can be proud of, it was always third, second, in these big tounaments and to get a win is just the best,” Kenney said after lifting the trophy. Another $1m+ score would follow later that yeart in the Triton Manila Main Event, winning $1,401,694 after coming second to Wai Kin Yong. Bryn Kenney: ‘I’ll Always Be Playing, I’ll Always Be Busy’ The big scores kept on coming, with victory in the PokerStars Championship Monte Carlo 100,000 Super High Roller netting him close to $2m. In August 2019, Kenney finished second to Aaron Zhang in the Triton Million for $20,537,187 after a heads-up deal. Earlier that same year, Kenney won the Aussie Millions Main Event for A$1,272,598. The wins saw him overtake Justin Bonomo to claim the top spot on The Hendon Mob All-Time Money list. However, Bonomo would wrestle the lead back following his own performances on the live felt. Then in August 2023, Kenney reached the mountaintop once again. At the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series in London, the American triumphed in the series’ $250,000 Luxon Invitational for his second-biggest score of $6,860,000.
