Ebony Kenney: Triton High-Roller Standout With $4.1M+ in Live Earnings
POKER HALL OF FAME
Inducted 2014
Ebony Kenney is an American poker player whose career has developed from Florida card-room tournaments and World Poker Tour appearances into regular competition on the international high-roller circuit. Her breakthrough at the highest stakes came in 2022, when she finished fifth in the $200,000 Coin Rivet Invitational at Triton Poker Cyprus for $1.7 million.
That result remains the largest live tournament cash of Kenney’s career and established her as a significant presence in high-stakes no-limit hold’em. She has continued adding major international results since then, including a $614,500 runner-up finish at Triton ONE Jeju in 2025 and a fourth-place finish worth $432,000 at Triton Poker Jeju in March 2026.
As of August 26, 2026, The Hendon Mob lists Kenney with $4,144,240 in live tournament earnings and a career-best cash of $1.7 million.
⠀
Who Is Ebony Kenney?
Ebony Kenney is a United States poker player whose tournament career dates back to the 2000s. The Hendon Mob lists her residence as Miami, Florida, while her recorded results include tournaments across the United States, Europe, the Caribbean and Asia.
Kenney told PokerNews in a 2013 interview that she learned poker through a former boyfriend and began with small $20 tournaments among friends before moving into cash games and larger tournaments. Her first recorded Hendon Mob tournament cash dates to 2007.
Her visibility grew during the early 2010s. The World Poker Tour selected Kenney as one of its Season X “Ones to Watch,” placing her among a group of emerging players expected to make an impact on the tour.
Kenney subsequently recorded multiple WPT cashes, including deep runs in events at bestbet Jacksonville, Seminole Hard Rock, Borgata and the WPT Caribbean. The World Poker Tour player profile for Ebony Kenney lists no WPT titles.
⠀
Ebony Kenney’s Breakthrough at Triton Poker
Kenney’s career reached a new level during the 2022 Triton Poker Super High Roller Series in Cyprus.
Before the Coin Rivet Invitational began, she entered a $25,000 no-limit hold’em event and finished fifth for $240,500. Triton reported that the result made Kenney the first woman to reach a Triton Series final table.
The larger breakthrough followed days later in the $200,000 Coin Rivet Invitational, an event built around a field of invited recreational players and professional partners.
Kenney entered the professional side of the tournament after receiving an invitation connected to Phil Nagy and advanced through a field containing many of the leading high-stakes players in poker.
She reached the nine-player final table and ultimately finished fifth for $1.7 million. Sam Grafton won the tournament for $5.5 million.
The $1.7 million payout was Kenney’s first seven-figure tournament result and remains her largest live cash. Triton has identified her run as the first time a woman earned a seven-figure prize on the tour.
Kenney’s performance also carried broader significance because of her place in the invitational. Triton described her as the first woman to participate as a professional in a major invitational tournament of that scale.
⠀
Continued High-Roller Success
The 2022 Cyprus results were not an isolated appearance at the high-stakes level.
Kenney returned to Triton competition and produced another major run at the inaugural Triton ONE festival in Jeju, South Korea, in September 2025.
She reached heads-up play in the $15,000 Triton ONE High Roller, a tournament that attracted 353 entries and generated a prize pool of nearly $5 million. Kenney finished second to Jun Hao Wu and collected $614,500.
The official Triton Poker recap identified the result as the second-largest cash of Kenney’s career.
Her 2025 Jeju festival also included another final-table appearance, demonstrating that her success on Triton had extended beyond the one seven-figure score from Cyprus.
⠀
Ebony Kenney’s 2026 Results
Kenney remained active in major tournaments during 2026 and recorded several cashes against high-stakes international fields.
Her strongest result of the year through August 26 came at the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Jeju in March.
Kenney finished fourth in the $31,800 eight-handed no-limit hold’em event for $432,000. The tournament drew 172 entries and generated a $5.16 million prize pool. Ming Chen won the event, with Chang Lee and Daniel Tang finishing ahead of Kenney.
She added three more cashes during the same Triton festival:
24th in the $26,500 Jupiter Event for $56,000
10th in the $42,400 Mystery Bounty event for $61,000
11th in the $31,200 no-limit hold’em turbo for $61,000
Kenney then returned to the United States and cashed twice during the 2026 U.S. Poker Open. She finished 10th in a $5,100 no-limit hold’em event for $14,700 and seventh in the $25,100 U.S. Poker Open finale for $48,000.
Those results show that Kenney continued competing actively in both Triton and PokerGO Tour high-roller events well after her 2022 breakthrough.
⠀
Ebony Kenney’s WSOP Record
Kenney has extensive World Series of Poker experience but has not won a WSOP bracelet.
As of August 2026, the official WSOP player profile for Ebony Kenney lists:
0 WSOP bracelets
0 WSOP Circuit rings
13 WSOP cashes
$158,508 in recorded WSOP earnings
Her WSOP record includes cashes at the traditional summer series as well as WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas.
During WSOP Paradise 2025, Kenney cashed in three bracelet events. Her deepest run was 17th place in the $5,300 Super COLOSSUS for $19,800, and she also earned $70,000 for finishing 199th in the $26,000 Super Main Event.
Winning a first WSOP bracelet therefore remains a major career milestone that Kenney has yet to achieve.
⠀
Career Earnings and Largest Cashes
As of August 26, 2026, The Hendon Mob lists Kenney with $4,144,240 in live tournament earnings.
Her career record is heavily influenced by several high-stakes international finishes:
$1,700,000 for fifth place in the 2022 Coin Rivet Invitational
$614,500 for second place in the 2025 Triton ONE Jeju High Roller
$432,000 for fourth place in a 2026 Triton Poker Jeju $31,800 no-limit hold’em event
$240,500 for fifth place in a 2022 Triton Poker Cyprus $25,000 no-limit hold’em event
Live tournament earnings are cumulative and can change whenever a player records another qualifying result, so Kenney’s total should be treated as a current figure rather than a permanent career total.
⠀
What Kind of Poker Does Ebony Kenney Play?
Kenney’s major recorded results are concentrated primarily in no-limit hold’em tournaments.
Her career has included traditional tournament fields, World Poker Tour events, WSOP tournaments, mystery bounty formats and increasingly expensive high-roller competition.
Her results since 2022 are particularly notable because she has repeatedly reached the money and final stages of events featuring established high-stakes professionals.
It would be overly simplistic to assign Kenney a specific tactical label such as tight-aggressive or loose-aggressive without consistent supporting data. Her tournament record does, however, demonstrate substantial experience across a wide range of no-limit hold’em buy-ins and structures.
⠀
Why Ebony Kenney Matters in Poker
Kenney’s place in poker extends beyond her career earnings.
Her 2022 Triton run represented an important milestone for women competing in the modern super-high-roller environment. She became the first woman to reach a Triton final table during her debut festival and then earned $1.7 million in the Coin Rivet Invitational.
Triton has since highlighted Kenney when discussing the growing presence of women in its high-stakes events.
Her later results have also strengthened the competitive side of that story. The 2025 runner-up finish in Jeju and $432,000 result in 2026 demonstrated that she remained capable of making deep runs against high-roller fields years after the Cyprus breakthrough.
Kenney has also maintained a visible presence around poker media, streaming and tournament coverage, giving her a profile that extends beyond individual results.
⠀
Is Ebony Kenney Still Playing Poker?
Yes. Kenney remained an active tournament player in 2026.
Her March 2026 Triton Poker Jeju results included four cashes, highlighted by a fourth-place finish for $432,000. She followed those performances with two U.S. Poker Open cashes in April.
The Hendon Mob also records tournament activity later in the spring, confirming that her career remained active as of August 2026.
With more than $4.1 million in recorded live earnings and repeated appearances in major high-stakes events, Kenney remains an established tournament professional rather than a player defined solely by her 2022 Coin Rivet Invitational result.
