"Alex Foxen won his first ever PokerGO Tour title at the 2021 PokerGO Cup. Less than five years later, he's pushed his total up to 13 PGT victories, adding his latest trophy in event no. 7 of the 2026 U.S. Poker Open. Foxen's $210,000 win in the $10,500 no-limit hold'em tournament puts him one win behind Sam Soverel's 14 PGT trophies for the all-time record for most triumphs on the tour. It also comes just three days after his wife, Kristen Foxen, won event no. 4."
"Incredibly, both Alex and Kristen defeated Jeremy Ausmus heads up to claim their respective golden eagle trophies. Ausmus now has three runner-up finishes during this series in total, also falling one spot short of victory against two-time U.S. Poker Open champion Brock Wilson in the series opener. Like the Foxens, Wilson is part of a poker power couple that has crushed this series. He has won two titles so far, while his significant other Cherish Andrews took down event no. 3."
"This was Foxen's 37th recorded tournament title. The 35-year-old poker pro now has nearly $58.5 million in career cashes to his name, which is currently good for eighth place on poker's all-time money list. Thinning The Field Alex's latest win saw him top a field of 70 entrants to earn 420 Card Player Player of the Year points, improving his overall standing to 7th on the yearlong leaderboard presented by CoinPoker."
"The money bubble burst late on the first day of action. Five players were eliminated in the money, including two players, in John Andress (7th) and Sam Laskowitz (6th), who technically made the final table. Foxen carried the chip lead into day 2, wielding a significant advantage over his four remaining competitors. He never relinquished the top spot and scored the final three eliminations on his way to victory."
