Kristen Foxen Wins Record-Extending Fifth World Series of Poker Gold Bracelet

Must read

Kristen Foxen has extended her lead as the all-time female World Series of Poker bracelet leader, taking down a 2024 WSOP Online $1,000 buy-in six-max no-limit hold’em event for $56,703 and her fifth career bracelet. Foxen now has two more bracelets than any other woman in the game.

Full real-name results for the event have not yet been released by the WSOP, but the tournament lobby shows that the event drew 311 total entries, with five-figure paydays for the top six finishers. The tournament was a single-day affair that lasted just over nine hours on Thursday, Oct. 24.

This was Foxen’s third online bracelet victory in a row, having won her fourth during the 2023 WSOPO festival by coming out on top in the $888 buy-in no-limit hold’em ‘Crazy 8’s’ event. Her third bracelet came online during the inaugural WSOPO festival held in 2020. She beat out a 892-entry field in a $2,500 no-limit hold’em six-max tournament on GGPoker to earn $356,412 and the hardware.

Foxen now has nearly $9.2 million in career tournament cashes to her name, making her the second-highest earning female player behind only Vanessa Selbst ($10.9 million). This latest win also saw Foxen break her tie with Selbst for the most open-event bracelets.

Foxen has now won four such tournaments to best Selbst’s three, with her limited-field victory coming in the 2013 WSOP ladies no-limit hold’em championship for her first bracelet. Three years removed from that breakout title run, she came out on top in the 2016 WSOP $1,500 no-limit hold’em bounty event to earn $290,768 for her other live victory at the series.

Chip Leader Coaching, a training site which counts both Kristen Foxen and her husband Alex Foxen among the featured pros, took to social media to reveal the news of Foxen’s record-extending victory.

It has been quite the week for the Foxen household, as Alex bagged his second bracelet on Oct. 20, by taking down a $500 pot-limit Omaha mystery bounty event.

Earlier this year, Kristen came close to becoming just the second female player to ever make a WSOP main event final table. She ultimately fell just short of joining 1995 fifth-place finisher Barbara Enright, placing 12th for $600,000.

Here is a look at the payouts for the final table of Foxen’s online victory. Card Player will post full real-name results as soon as they are available.
