Kevin started playing poker during his college years. [citation needed] But in 2003, after Chris Moneymaker won the main event at the WSOP, he decided to make a transition from Magic: the Gathering to playing poker.
He has been a professional since April 2008, when he broke the PokerStars TLB record and won over $100,000. Ever since he never stopped traveling and playing in live events.[citation needed]
In March 2010 Kevin MacPhee won the EPT Berlin Season 6 Main Event. In an interview he said: "I am a luck-sack. What can I say? I ran extremely good and I had the nuts every time someone played back at me." He was 29 years old by that time.[1] This was his first huge poker success. He has more than 20 notable EPT cashes as he is seen in almost each EPT season since 2008.[2]
In June 2015 he got his first bracelet, winning the Event 56: $5,000 Turbo No-Limit Hold'em for $490,900.[3][4][5] In October 2015 he won his second bracelet, winning the WSOP Europe Main Event for $1,001,577.[6]
As of June 2015, his total live tournament winnings exceed $5,500,000.[7][8]
Kevin MacPhee was the EPT Player's Choice Award Winner for 2010.
