Chicago Joey had Ebony Kenney on his show, and the whole thing degraded into controversy in the final hour or so.

For background, Ebony Kenney is a mixed race female poker player who, despite some moderate tournament results (about $400k cashes in 15 years) was more known for her social media presence than her poker accomplishments.

Earlier this year, she got into a spat with Daniel Negreanu, when she called him out for "staring at her" and then bragging about it when confronted, in a story which supposedly took place in 2008. In her story, she claimed Daniel made her feel so uncomfortable that she felt a relief busting out with aces from that $10k event. However, Negreanu posted a rebuttal in one of his vlogs, pointing out that Kenney named him as her "favorite poker pro" with a "wonderful energy" in 2014, six years after that supposedly traumatizing incident. In short, it looks like she's full of shit.

Daniel's response began at 1:45 in this video:






Anyway, I've never met nor played with Ebony Kenney, but in general she doesn't seem like a genuine person. Years ago on 2+2, she was very toxic and degrading toward both men and women in the community (something she admitted in the show with Joey), yet has recently taken on a social justice, holier-than-thou identity.




Ebony has been a sponsored pro on ACR for almost two years. Phil Nagy, the now-wealthy owner of ACR, decided to put her in to the high roller Triton poker series in Cyprus this month. Ebony did very well, scoring $250k in the $25k event, and then a whopping $1.7 million for finishing 5th in the $200k event. She will not reveal how much of herself she had in the event.

Because of her success in cashing almost $2 million in just a week, "Chicago" Joey Ingram had her on his show. However, it degraded into a lot of arguing and virtue signaling.
