Negreanu makes stacked WSOP final table, plays for eighth bracelet tonight

Foxen, Reichard, and Hawkins in the way

To win bracelet No. 8, Negreanu will have to navigate a loaded final table that includes Alex Foxen and WSOP Circuit standouts Josh Reichard, John Holley, and Maurice Hawkins. Between the three of them, they boast more than 50 WSOP Circuit rings. 

Reichard and Holley might not have the name recognition of Negreanu or Foxen, but they have all the requisite chops on the felt to take this one down. 

Hawkins, on the other hand, is a name well known within the poker community – though not for the best reasons. As a skilled player in his own right, Hawkins can take home the bracelet if the cards go his way, but we wouldn't expect many supporters on his rail during the heads-up battle if it comes down to that. 

Foxen reached the semi-finals of the Heads-Up Championship earlier in the series, finishing in fourth place. Another close call followed soon after in the $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship, but this is the first final table of the summer for Foxen. 

Will he seize the moment like his wife Kristen Foxen did in the $25K High Roller? Only time will tell. 

Alex Foxen has a shot at his fourth WSOP bracelet tonight.
