Alex Foxen is having one heck of a summer.
Before the now four-time WSOP champion won the $10K Super Turbo Bounty earlier this week, Foxen notched a semi-final effort in the $25K Heads-Up, a fifth-place finish in the $600 NLH/PLO, and a sixth-place run in the $100K High Roller.
The quick start adds up to one of the top spots on the WSOP Player of the Year leaderboard, and the #1 WSOP Fantasy point total of the year, so far. And Foxen even isn't alone in his household. Kristen has a 2026 bracelet, too, after a win in the $25K High Roller.
He's back already
Now, Foxen has already started an encore in the $25K PLO High Roller, where he has 2.5 million more chips than his nearest foe after a hard-fought Day 2.
Foxen leads 31 returning players from an original lineup of 451 entries, and his big stack will be good for around 136 big blinds when play resumes in the 25K/50K/50K level.
The next-best player, Chenxiang Miao, will sit down with 86 big blinds as the leader of the rest of the pack. Other bracelet winners in the top ten include Eelis Parssinen, Richard Bryko, and Chance Kornuth.
