EXPAND GRAPHIC

Kristen Foxen secured a new career-high score in the $100K Triton Jeju Main Event on Thursday, when she finished fourth for $1.45M.

Foxen, already top of the Women’s All-Time Money List, now has 16 cashes on the Triton Poker Tour. Her previous best cash also came at Triton, when she finished third in the $125K NLH event at Jeju last September.

She now has $14,935,462 in tournament winnings over a 20-year career and is more than $3M ahead of former pro Vanessa Selbst in second. Kathy Leibert, in third, has $7,214,741.

Foxen eliminated by Tollerene

Foxen had 17 big blinds left when chip leader Ben Tollerene opened the cut-off with . Action folded to Foxen in the big blind, and she looked down at and decided to go with it. Tollerene snap-called, and Foxen couldn’t turn her 23% equity into a win as the board ran out .

It left Tollerene with the overwhelming chip lead – 29 million of the 44.5 million in play – with Philip Sternheimer in second and Elton Tsang third.

Sternheimer had already won one of the hands of the day after making quads to send Punnat Punsri to the rail in fifth.

Punsri had shoved from the small blind, and Sternheimer called with . The flop left Sternheimer shaking his head before back-to-back jacks gave him quads in a dramatic turnaround and left Punsri empty-handed but for his 'lucky' cuddly toy.

Runner-runner quads to beat a flopped set at the Triton Main Event. It's good to be Philip Sternheimer.

The hand of the day came early at the final table, and it was a rare misstep from Foxen, who folded kings preflop after a UTG shove from Felipe Ketzer with , a call from Elton Tsang with and a reshove from Sternheimer with . To compound matters, the runout would have given her top set and a big boost to her stack.

Watch that play out below.
