Our Pick 3 competition for the WSOP Main Event is up and running, with almost 800 members of The Org each choosing a team of three players they think will win the most money between them in poker’s annual world championship.
When all’s said and done, the team with the most accumulated cashes will win a $5K package to Aruba to play the Moneymaker Poker Tour Main Event this September.
You guys know your onions, so we were intrigued to see which players were selected by the most teams.
Below are the five most selected players from the 261 names available in our Pick 3 draft. Are they all still in the Main Event? You’ll have to read on to find out.
Entry is now closed in poker’s biggest shindig, with all surviving players returning at 11am PT on Wednesday when the full field will be combined for the first time.
That field is down to 3,294 of 9,208 entries, but with many days of play still remaining before the winner is crowned, the Main Event is still just taking shape.
Catch up on the very latest update from the Main Event here.
1. Alex Foxen (222 picks)
Far and away the most popular choice, and it’s not tough to see why.
Mr Foxen has been enjoying an incredibly successful World Series of Poker, winning a 4th bracelet in the $10K Super Turbo Bounty and making five other final tables.
When he cashes, he cashes. Of his 9 in-the-money finishes in WSOP events this year so far, his lowest placing was 103rd in a field of 1,150. That came in the $3K 6-Max NLH event and was worth just $6,310, but every other cash has been for over $30K and most over $50K. When he’s made the money, his average score has been over $213K.
Altogether he’s cashed for almost $2 million at the WSOP this summer, including two scores of over $500K, and is leading the race for Player of the Year.
And he’s looking good in the Main Event, too, with 493,500 chips heading into Day 3
2. Kristen Foxen (129 picks)
From Mr Foxen to Mrs Foxen. Wife of Alex, and a stone-cold crusher in her own right, Kristen Foxen has made fewer final tables than her husband but has cashed for a similar amount.
The bulk of that came in an impressive performance in the $25K High Roller, in which she bested an elite field to take down the $1.7M up top and added a sixth WSOP bracelet to her growing collection.
She’s already picked up three $1M+ scores in 2026, and definitely has the chops to go deep in the WSOP Main Event, having previously run all the way to 13th in 2024.
The Canadian branch of the Foxen family has 143,000 chips after Day 2.
3. Scott Seiver (87 picks)
Seiver is a former WSOP Player of the Year and has been getting down and dirty in the trenches this summer, playing a busy schedule which has featured one final table finish — in the $1,500 Limit Badugi event, where he finished 3rd.
But while he may have 7 bracelets to his name, he’s yet to make a big splash in the Las Vegas Main Event, where his best finish to date came in 2017 when he barely cracked the top 1,000.
Seiver is nothing if not driven, though — you have to be to even come close to winning WSOP Player of the Year. With 282,000 chips in his stack, he will pose a major threat to anyone at his table on Wednesday's Day 3, and very possibly beyond.
4. Daniel Negreanu (81 picks)
When we put together these Pick 3 or Fantasy Freeroll contests, Negreanu’s name is always one of the most commonly selected.
That’s surely no surprise — after all, he’s simply one of the most popular and recognizable poker players on the planet. And while some of that is down to how visible and busy he is with his vlogs and activities with GG Poker, that is far from the full story.
He’s known for playing a lot of tournaments, and playing them well. This summer he’s already cashed in 12 WSOP tournaments and won one of the biggest, collecting $2.2M for victory in the $100K PLO High Roller.
Sadly for his fans, however, Negreanu will not be running deep in the Main Event, as he wasn’t able to survive through to Day 3.
5. Martin Kabrhel (69 picks)
If you’ve spent any time at the WSOP this summer you’ve probably heard Martin Kabrhel’s constant chatter. And if you’re not, chances are you’ve heard of him.
Often controversial, usually entertaining, and never ignored, the Czech player has already picked up an online/live bracelet win this summer, a 6th such prize in a career that has seen him win almost $20M in tournaments around the world.
Like Negreanu, Kabrhel is a vocal, visible and versatile player with a lithe poker mind that has seen him rack up plenty of accolades during his career.
But also like Negreanu, Kabrhel is already out of this year’s WSOP Main Event.
That said, we’re sure we’ve not heard the last of Martin Kabrhel this summer.
Players return on Wednesday at 11am for Day 3 of the WSOP Main Event. We’ll be on the floor covering all the biggest stories, so stick with PokerOrg for your WSOP fix.
