Wonder what happens when two rivals who have got into some serious virtual fights, come face-to-face on the same poker table?! Well, something similar happened at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open (SHRPO) last year when Bryn Kenney and Martin Zamani clashed.
For those who are unaware of the spat between Kenney and Zamani, it was one of the biggest stories of 2022. Poker pro Zamani accused Kenney of ghosting, multi-accounting and various other nefarious activities in online poker games.
Kenney was not only accused of indulging in unfair poker actions but also accused of forcing the players of his stable, also known as horses, to undergo bizarre rituals involving a shaman and frog poison.
The second player on USA’s All-Time Money List refused all the claims against him. High-stakes player Lauren Roberts had publicly shared messages between the pair that did not support Kenney’s claims of being innocent. Following that Zamani unveiled several messages that further significantly harmed Kenney’s credibility.
Months later the two rivals found themselves on the same table playing against each other. Images floated all over the internet of the two sitting side-by-side. Although what went down and what the two spoke wasn’t revealed, however, the duo are seen smiling in the picture.

Another post on a forum claimed, “Saw someone there said that they were arguing loudly and TD had to come tell them to STFU, when Bryn busted someone asked Zamani how and he said Bryn dusted it off like usual.”(sic)
While we don’t know what exactly went down at the face-off, we know that Kenney busted out early. The encounter between the accused and the accuser ended there. Zamani went on to make it in the money at the Championship event.
