Kenney Announces Shuffle Up and Deal
Aussie Millions Tournament Director Joel Williams introduced arguably the biggest name on the planet when it comes to live poker, as 2019 champion Bryn Kenney was on hand for a few words before cards got in the air.
Kenney bagged over 100,000 yesterday, and said he didn't have any chips until late in the day.
"I just had to play patiently," said Kenney. "Don't try to push anything too much. I had a nice trip before this, but I made sure I landed in time to play the Main Event.
"It's my favourite place to play poker, so I had to come and show my face and go for back-to-back!"
Kenney praised the entire Aussie Millions team for what they're bringing to the poker community.
"For me, the most important thing is for players to have a good time when they're playing and for it to be a special event, and you do a great job of doing that. It's a great atmosphere, and that's the most important thing for poker and for poker to grow."
The all-time money list leader then wished players good luck and announced the ceremonial shuffle up and deal.
