Ebony Kenney wins the main event at the Hard Rock

Ebony Kenney of Fort Myers won the main event of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino's Summer Open Poker series.

She took home $54,230; the $1,100 buy-in event drew 182 entrants.

I'm trying to find out more about Kenney, who I've never met. She shows up on CardPlayer magazine rankings and such, but there's only spotty info.

Anyone else help me out?
