Kenney is back at it this year as he is currently one of the seven players remaining in the High Roller event as the Top 6 players will profit and one player will be left empty-handed on the bubble - Kenney certainly hopes that he is not that player. Although star UK pro Stephen Chidwick (GPI No. 12) was recently eliminated, winning the event won’t be easy for Kenney as a few other poker pros remain in the field, including German superstar Ole Schemion (GPI No. 9), who has spent a considerable amount of time at the top of the Global Poker Index World Rankings this season. Schemion and Kenney are sitting 1 and 2 in chips at the time of this report.

A win for Kenney would also see him win his second High Roller event in a week! The former World #4 won £100,000 in the High Roller event on the World Poker Tour in Nottingham, England last Tuesday.
Just under €140K awaits the winner of the event. If you want to brush up on your Dutch, you can watch live coverage of the final table on pokercity.nl:
