Two World Series of Poker Bracelets in Three Days for the Foxens
Table Of Contents
Kristen Foxen and husband Alex Foxen had quite a week of poker. The couple had a combined five World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets six days ago. They now have seven.
The WSOP Online bracelet series on the Michigan, Nevada, and New Jersey shared liquidity poker site is currently running. Much of the attention to the series has involved allegations against Kevin "GR4ND_THEFT" Ruscitti's win in a $500 No-Limit Hold'em PKO event for possible use of real-time assistance (RTA). But there are some non-scandalous stories of note, including a popular poker couple doing some big things.
Twice is Nice
Alex Foxen, a two-time GPI player of the Year (2018 and 2019), took down Event #17: $500 Pot-Limit Omaha Mystery Bounty 6-Max on October 23 for $20,064 (plus $19,207 in bounties). He defeated fellow high roller legend Dan Smith heads-up for the title, and bested a final table that also included Ben Yu and Chino Rheem. The victory was the former college football tight end's second bracelet, his first a career-best $4.6 million score for winning the $250,000 Super High Roller at the 2022 WSOP in Las Vegas.
Three days later and another Foxen took down a WSOP bracelet. Kristen Foxen, last week, entered the 172 player Event #19: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Max tournament on WSOP Online. She represented three of the 311 bullets fired in the tournament, and third time was a charm.

Foxen, using screen name "Saraswati.," won $56,703 and a gold bracelet, the largest share of the $290,785 prize pool. She defeated "dmatkr" heads-up to close it out. The runner-up took home $42,163 as a consolation prize.
Foxen claimed her fifth World Series of Poker bracelet. The Canadian poker star nearly became the second woman of all-time to reach the WSOP Main Event this past summer before bowing out in 13th place following a mistimed all-in jam against Joe Serock, who finished in eighth place in poker's world championship event.
The now five-time WSOP champion has won two bracelets live at the series in Las Vegas (2013, 2016) and three online (2020, 2023, and 2024).
