WPT Finale: The Brothers Kenney

$10,000 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Finale
Level 8: 500/1,000 with a 100 Ante
Players: 331

In an earlier post, we highlighted Joseph and Lucian Cappello, the brothers from New Rochelle, New York who were both in the field at the start of the day. Joseph was eliminated before the dinner break, but Lucian is still in contention to win a title for the Cappello family.

While that duo of brothers has been split up, another one has just manifested itself in the field.

Tyler Kenney

Bryn and Tyler Kenney were both among the Day 2 restart in the $3,500 WPT Showdown, but they were eliminated 10 spots apart in 56th and 46th places, respectively. The younger Tyler jumped straight into the WPT Finale field after picking up his check for $12,081, but Bryn the Elder waited around for most of the day before entering.

Bryn has just joined with a fresh stack of 40,000 chips, taking a seat at the table that includes Tony Cousineau, Dylan Wilkerson, Alex Keating, and Mike Leah among others. His starting stack gives him more chips than his little brother, who’s struggling to gain traction as Day 1 winds down.

Bryn Kenney – 40,000
Tyler Kenney – 26,000
