The 2026 summer high-stakes poker season is drawing to a close, and the all-time global live tournament money list has seen significant changes once again. As of August 15, only nine players still have career live tournament winnings exceeding $60 million, with four of them adding more than $1 million since early June, and three others seeing increases of several million dollars.

Bryn Kenney remains firmly in first place all-time, and has further extended his lead to over $12 million; Alex Foxen, thanks to a deep run in the summer of 2026, will officially surpass $60 million, becoming the 9th player in history to join this top club.

Only 9 people worldwide have surpassed $60 million.

Currently, the "$60 million club" is led by Bryn Kenney, with Stephen Chidwick and Jason Koon in second and third place respectively. Mikita Badziakouski and Adrian Mateos have also crossed the $70 million mark, while Justin Bonomo, Isaac Haxton, Dan Smith, and Alex Foxen are ranked sixth to ninth respectively.

Bryn Kenney surpasses $92 million, pulling further and further ahead of the leader.

Bryn Kenney, 39, already held the top spot on the all-time money list, but his performance in the summer of 2026 further solidified his lead. Since the start of the summer season, Kenney has accumulated $5,813,322, including three single-event prizes exceeding seven figures.

After three seven-figure wins, Kenney's record of winning more than $1 million in a single prize has increased to 17 times in his career, with many of them exceeding several million dollars.

Stephen Chidwick is just one step away from $80 million.

Compared to other top-ranked players, Chidwick's summer of 2026 was relatively stable, with five cashes and total winnings slightly over $250,000. Despite limited growth, he remains firmly in second place all-time, just about $36,000 shy of becoming the second player in history, after Kenney, to surpass $80 million in live tournament winnings.

Chidwick currently holds two WSOP gold bracelets and has 17 single-win prizes exceeding one million US dollars in his career, tying Kenney and Jason Koon.

Jason Koon inducted into the Hall of Fame, with career prize money approaching $78 million.

As one of the players with the most titles in Triton Poker history, Koon cashed in three times at the WSOP this summer, earning over $1.1 million in total. His biggest win came from finishing fifth in the $250,000 buy-in High Roller event, earning him $972,375.

Koon has now accumulated 17 single-winner prizes of over one million US dollars, and is less than 2.5 million US dollars away from the career milestone of 80 million US dollars.

Mikita Badziakouski ranks first in the total number of million-dollar cash transactions.

Mikita Badziakouski ranked fourth with $72,137,501.

Adrian Mateos made a summer fortune of $5.3 million, acquiring his sixth gold bracelet.

Adrian Mateos, a 31-year-old Spanish star, ranks fifth with $70,315,713, and is currently the last player to break the $70 million mark.

Mateos is one of the most significant risers on the poker leaderboard this summer, accumulating over $5.3 million in cash. His largest single cash came from the $250,000 buy-in WSOP event, where he ultimately won, earning his sixth WSOP bracelet and $4,334,411.

This victory also made Mateos the youngest six-time WSOP bracelet winner in history.

In addition to his WSOP victory, he also won two PokerGO Tour High Roller events and a $25,000 buy-in event at the Wynn Summer Classic within a month, accumulating four titles in just one month.

Bonomo, Haxton, and Dan Smith retain their positions in the £60 million club.

The sixth to eighth places on the list did not change much in the summer of 2026.

Justin Bonomo is currently ranked sixth with $69,415,857, less than $600,000 away from $70 million; Isaac Haxton is ranked seventh with $67,810,176; and Dan Smith is ranked eighth with $64,197,682.

The three players' career-high single prizes are $10 million for Bonomo, $8,784,000 for Smith, and $3,672,000 for Haxton.

In terms of single prizes exceeding one million US dollars, Haxton has 14, Smith has 13, and Bonomo has 11.

Alex Foxen surpasses 60 million, becoming the 9th person in history to achieve this feat.

The newest member on the list is Alex Foxen.

Foxen has added over $2 million to its live tournament winnings since early June. One of the most significant tournaments was the $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty, where Alex won $594,246 and his fourth WSOP bracelet, just one week after Kristen Foxen earned her sixth WSOP bracelet.

This was Foxen's largest cash out of 13 during that period. Another significant achievement came from a sixth-place finish in a $100,000 buy-in event, earning him $522,347.

With his continued deep runs this year, Foxen's career live winnings have increased to $61,071,703, officially making him the 9th player in history to surpass $60 million.

As of the time of the original statistics, Foxen also leads the Card Player of the Year leaderboard, having won 5 titles and 12 final tables in 2026; in the PokerGO Tour leaderboard, he is in the top five with 14 eligible cash transactions.

Daniel Negreanu was just under $75,000 short.

The "$60 million club" is likely to welcome its 10th member soon.

Poker Hall of Fame member Daniel Negreanu is less than $75,000 away from the $60 million mark.

Negreanu won the WSOP $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller this summer, earning $2,257,718 and his eighth WSOP gold bracelet. This prize money is also the third highest single tournament winnings of his career.

If Negreanu wins another medium-sized or larger cash prize, the global "$60 million club" could expand from 9 to 10 members.

High-stakes tournaments are rewriting the history of the prize money rankings.

Currently, three of the top five players have surpassed $70 million, with Bryn Kenney being the only player to exceed $90 million. Meanwhile, the $250,000 WSOP events, Triton Poker, Onyx, and other international high-roller series continue to offer seven-figure prize pools, rapidly raising the bar for the all-time money list.

The most significant changes in the summer of 2026 came from Kenney, Mateos, and Foxen: Kenney extended his lead as the all-time number one to over $12 million; Mateos broke through $70 million with a string of wins; and Foxen officially became the 9th player to surpass $60 million.

The next two biggest milestones are when Stephen Chidwick will become the second player in history to reach $80 million in poker, and whether Daniel Negreanu can soon increase the "$60 million club" to 10 players.
