Bryn Kenney becomes the first person to win two PokerStars $100k buy-in events after taking the $1.7m first prize in the PokerStars Championship Super High Roller in Monte Carlo.

Bryn Kenney has continued to shed personal poundage but add bankroll poundage after winning the €100,000 PokerStars Championship Super High Roller Monte Carlo.

According to the PokerNews blog, Kenney ‘destroyed’ the final table, taking out three of the final eight players after Ike Haxton had fallen on the bubble.

Kenney’s heads-up opponent, Viacheslav Buldygin, also took out three opponents on the final table but still began the final duel with a 5-1 chip disadvantage, and faced with a history of losing his last three heads-up encounters.
