Because the player pools are small in Super High Rollers you do get to hear about a lot of the same names, and right now it looks like Bryn Kenney is one of the stories of 2017.

He just captured his 4th High Roller title of the year for his biggest score ever, a €1,784,500 payday at the PokerStars Championship in Monte Carlo.

The €100,000 buy-in event attracted 47 players and 14 re-entries, including none other than comedian Kevin Hart, who has just announced a partnership with PokerStars. 

Kenney's live earnings now stand at $17,161,701 and he currently tops the 2017 money list with $3,305,044 earned this year alone.

Special mention also goes to prolific German High Roller Ole Schemion who went straight from winning the €10,000 High Roller for €274,750, to cashing in this event for €487,715 after coming 5th. 

Now all eyes are on the Main Event, which you can watch on PokerStrategy.com later today.
