Kahle Burns may be Australia’s best kept secret. He has been collecting tournament cashes across Australia and the world for over a decade and has amassed more than $13 million in live tournament earnings during that stretch. His first major result came in the 2013 World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific main event, where he pocketed $211,392 for a fifth-place finish. In the summer of 2016, he won the Sydney Championships for $226,295 and weeks later won the Western Classic Poker Championship in Perth for another $55,674.

It was at that point that Burns started becoming a more familiar face on the high roller circuit and in 2020 was second on the all-time money list. His most recent notable wins include a first-place finish in the75k NLH Triton Super High Roller Series in Cyprus, a second-place finish in the 50k NLH European Poker Tour in Barcelona, and another second-place finish in the 25k NLH WSOP Super High Roller Championship ONLINE.

Burns has been a dominant cash game player, steadily moving up the stakes ever since he entered the poker world after high school. Traveling around Australia, or to Macau and the United States, Burns is always on the lookout for a good game and the opportunity to compete against high-level competition.
