Ebony Kenney: Rising Star at Americas Cardroom
Ebony Kenney has had several significant years in poker, establishing herself as a formidable figure in the professional poker world. Known for her tenacity and skill, she has become one of the most successful women in the game. Kenney began her poker career in 2007 and joined the Americas Cardroom Pro team in 2020, continuing her ascent in the industry.
Kenney’s career took a significant leap in 2017 with a $34,637 first-place victory at the Rio Deepstack event in Las Vegas. However, her performance at the 2022 Triton Super High Roller Series in Cyprus truly cemented her status among poker elites. Competing in the $200,000 buy-in Coin Rivet Invitational, she earned a 5th place finish and a career-high score of $1,700,000. This achievement made her the recipient of the 5th-largest cash win by a woman in poker history and placed her 16th on the Women’s All-Time Money List.
Kenney’s success continued at the same Triton series, where she secured another 5th-place finish in a $25,000 buy-in event, earning an additional $240,500. These achievements are part of her more than $2.4 million in live tournament earnings, highlighting her prowess and influential status in the poker world.
The journey to the top
Kenney’s journey to the top wasn’t easy. Initially struggling with self-doubt and the pressures of the game, her resilience and mentorship from Americas Cardroom CEO Phil Nagy helped her transform into a confident and formidable player. This growth played a vital role in her success at top-tier poker events, including her historic run at the Coin Rivet Invitational.
During the early days of the pandemic, Kenney’s competitive spirit and commitment to philanthropy shone through with her 1st place finish in the All-In for America Celebrity Poker Tournament. This $10,000 No Limit Hold’em event, featuring celebrities like Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Jon Hamm, Kevin Pollak, and Tobey Maguire, raised more than $1.2 million for Feeding America.
