Belgian Poker Pro Kenny Hallaert Claims 4th in 2025 WSOP Main Event
Belgian poker pro Kenny Hallaert has made headlines again, securing fourth place in the 2025 WSOP Main Event, his second final table appearance. Known for his deep runs and love for fine dining, Hallaert's impressive performance has once again put him in the spotlight.
Hallaert, with over 20 years of poker experience, has consistently proven his skills at the WSOP Main Event. In 2016, he finished sixth, and this year, he improved his standing to fourth, winning $3,000,000, his career-best score. His journey to the final table included eliminating eccentric player Will Kassouf in 33rd place, who was subsequently banned from the rest of the WSOP.
Off the felt, Hallaert is a man of refined tastes. He prefers spending his winnings on fine dining experiences at renowned restaurants like MartΓn Berasategui, Hof van Cleve, DiverXO, and Alchemist, rather than expensive cars.
Hallaert's impressive run at the 2025 WSOP Main Event further cements his status as a top poker player. His fourth-place finish is a testament to his skill and consistency. As PokerStars' Live Events Advisor, Hallaert continues to use his extensive experience to improve the quality and integrity of live poker events.
