The Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open ran from the end of July until yesterday, when the last tournaments were played. The entire series took place in Florida at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood.
One of the last tournaments was the $25,500 buy-in, $1,000,000 High Roller. However, thanks to 67 entries, the prizepool had reached $1,654,900 and a $518,800 prize awaited the winner. Names like Daniel Rezaei, Darren Elias, Dan Sepiol, Alex Foxen and Bryn Kenney were sitting at the final table.
After eliminating Alex Foxen in third place for a $220,100 prize, Bryn Kenney and Dan Sepiol made it to the final heads-up, with Kenney holding up a 180 blind stack and Sepiol having a 43 blind stack. The players eventually negotiated a deal after which there was no further play, leaving Bryn Kenney to take home the trophy and a $487,990 prize. Reigning WPT champion Dan Sepiol pocketed $390,810.
Bryn Kenney last enjoyed a taste of victory in early August 2023 when he was the winner of the $6,860,000 Triton Luxon Invitational. With yesterday's win, he surpassed the $67 million mark in live tournament winnings and solidified his top spot in the world rankings.
