A Look Back at Last Year's Brutal "Wynn Millions Massacre" Hand
Last summer, the inaugural $10,000 buy-in, $10,000,000 GTD Wynn Millions attracted 1,328 entries over three starting flights, which surpassed the seven-figure guarantee by creating a $12,483,200 prize pool (the largest in Wynn Poker history).
On Day 2ab, 240 players returned with Bryn Kenney, tournament poker's all-time money leader, and his stack 376,500 leading the way. Coming in with the seventh-largest stack of 295,500 was Alex Foxen. Eventually, the latter was moved to the former's table and a hand for the ages would go down.
At the time, Foxen had chipped up into the chip lead ever so slightly over Kenney, who appeared to still be the other big stack in the room. That is when the two poker superstars had a head-on collision.
The hand took place early in Level 12 (1,500/2,500/2,500) when Kenney raised preflop and Foxen called from the hijack. The players on the button and in the big blind came along and it was four-way action to the 
flop.
The big blind checked, Kenney continued for 9,000, and only Foxen called to see the turn, which was another 
.
Kenney bet again, this time 10,000, and Foxen just called to see a 
complete the board on the river.
This time Kenney checked and Foxen over-bet the pot to the tune of 112,000. Kenney woke up with an all-in check-raise to approximately 240,000, and Foxen, who barely had the bigger stack, snap-called.
Kenney tabled for aces full of queens, but it was no good as Foxen rolled over for quads.
With that, Kenney was eliminated while Foxen pulled in the largest pot of the tournament thus far (by a wide margin) chipping up to 650,000. It was a standout moment in an event that would go on to be nominated for "Event of the Year" at the Global Poker Awards.
