US all-time money list, October 2026: Kenney clears $90.8m and the top forty tightens
A read of The Hendon Mob's United States all-time money list on 4 October 2026: Bryn Kenney past $90.8 million, Isaac Haxton third among Americans at $66.8 million, and a top-forty cutoff of $19,071,514 with three consecutive ranks inside $82,000 of each other.
We read The Hendon Mob's United States all-time money list on 4 October 2026 and extended our own coverage from the top 25 to the top 40. Three things stand out.
Kenney is still clear at the top, and still moving
Bryn Kenney leads the American list at $90,849,210, up $88,000 on the figure we recorded on 12 September. Jason Koon is second at $77,032,156, unchanged across the same three weeks. Isaac Haxton is third at $66,813,452, ahead of Justin Bonomo ($65,611,097), Dan Smith ($61,356,629), Alex Foxen ($59,462,863) and Phil Ivey, whose total has risen to $56,074,163.
Below the top ten, the list is a traffic jam
Between 28th and 40th place the American list compresses sharply. Jonathan Jaffe (29th, $22,948,385) and Byron Kaverman (30th, $22,937,115) are separated by about $11,000 — less than a single mid-stakes cash. Thomas Marchese (38th, $19,153,188), Daniel Cates (39th, $19,084,973) and Chris Hunichen (40th, $19,071,514) sit inside $82,000 of one another across three consecutive ranks. The cutoff for the American top forty is now $19.07 million.
Two career shapes, same money
The ranks either side of 30th hide two completely different careers. Antonio Esfandiari is 26th with $27,810,802, of which a single cash of $18,346,673 is roughly two thirds; his best-ever global rank is 1st and his current one is 48th. Jason Mercier is 32nd with $22,116,040 and a best single cash of $1,622,181 — under 8% of his total. One player is a single historic payday; the other is more than a decade of deep runs. The money list treats them identically, which is worth remembering whenever a ranking is used as a measure of consistency.
All figures are recorded live tournament results only: online play and cash games are outside the list's scope, and the totals move whenever a result is added or reclassified. Figures read from The Hendon Mob on 4 October 2026 and attributed to it.
