With over 80 career cashes, including three titles, and over $2.3 million in career tournament earnings, Belgium’s Kenny Hallaert is one of the most experienced players at the 2016 World Series of Poker main event final table. Having played poker for over a decade, Hallaert adds the 2016 November Nine to his already impressive resume, which includes a sixth place finish in the European Poker Tour (EPT) Deauville main event in 2011 and a fifth place finish in the tournament with the largest live field in poker history, the 2015 WSOP Colossus.
Hallaert’s success in big field events can be attributed to his tireless work ethic -- and it also helps him keep things in order in his “real” job in the mostly thankless world of tournament directing.
