Technically Bryn Kenney had the highest payout but it didn't count because of a deal :)
Kenney technically finished in [B]2nd place[/B]. However, because of a heads-up deal made before the final showdown with Aaron Zang, Kenney took home more money than the actual winner.
Zang walked away with $16.7 million.

If you only count 1st-place finishes without deals, the record belongs to [B]Antonio  Esfandiari[/B].
This held the record for the largest single payout for seven years until the Triton Million in 2019.

The largest individual payout ever awarded in a poker tournament belongs to [B]Bryn Kenney[/B].
[LIST]
[*][B]Amount:[/B] [B]$20,563,324[/B] (£16,890,509)

[*][B]Event:[/B] 2019 Triton Million for Charity (£1,050,000 buy-in).
[/LIST]
In cash games Tom Dwan is still the king with the highest pot in televised poker. 31M$
Off camera even way more

I am mostly MTT player but I had some years where I played live cashgame almost exclusively
My highest single pot was little over 1000€
