Poker's Elite: Nine Players Surpass $60 Million in Career Earnings


Poker has seen some remarkable achievements this summer, with several top players adding significant amounts to their career earnings. Leading the way is Bryn Kenney, who has earned a total of $92,002,616, setting the record for the largest payout in poker history when he earned $20,606,421 in the 2019 Triton Millions charity event. Kenney's summer earnings alone amount to $5,813,322, with three seven-figure scores.

Following Kenney is Stephen Chidwick with $79,964,075 in earnings. Chidwick, a two-time bracelet winner, had a relatively quiet summer but remains in second place. Jason Koon rounds out the top three with $77,592,535, making him the all-time Triton Poker titles leader.

Mikita Badziakouski has earned $72,137,501 and leads in seven-figure scores with 19. Adrian Mateos, the youngest player to win six titles at the WSOP, has earned $70,315,713. Justin Bonomo has earned $69,415,857 with 11 cashes for $1M+. Isaac Haxton has earned $67,810,176 with 14 cashes for $1M+. Dan Smith has earned $64,197,682 with 13 cashes for $1M+.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
