Fourth bracelet at the fourth final table

ACR Poker's newest ambassador finally captured a WSOP title after making three final tables during the 2026 series.

Alex Foxen took down the $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty event for $594,246, securing the fourth WSOP bracelet of his career.

The victory also brought the Foxen family’s total bracelet count to ten. Alex and Kristen Foxen are now just three titles behind the bracelet-leading Mizrachi brothers.

After receiving his bracelet, Foxen reflected on the achievement:

"I think a poker career is about consistent playing and a long series of results, not just one specific event. For me, this isn't the one that proves anything definitively, but it's part of the overall effort, and I'm proud of this result."

He also added:

"It's a fantastic feeling. We've had a great start to this summer. And it's especially meaningful  that Kristen won the 2026 WSOP alongside me."

Final table

The turbo structure of Event #44 created relentless action, with massive chip swings occurring throughout the final table. Foxen dominated the proceedings, personally eliminating six of his eight opponents on his way to the title. 

  • 9th place — Adrien Delmas. A♠Q♦ vs. A♣K♠. Flop was Q♣Q♦X.
  • 6th place — Sergio Gonzalez. A♠8♠ vs. A♥J♣. Foxen hit a flush on the turn.
  • 5th place — Nazar Bugaev. 8♠7♠ vs. A♠A♦. Flop was 8♣9♠T♦, turn was 9♣, river was 8♠. Foxen made a full house and broke pocket aces.
  • 4th place — Martin Zamani. A♠A♥ vs. A♣K♦. Preflop all-in, no surprises.
  • 3rd place — Cedric Schwaderle. Q♠9♦ vs. 8♠7♠.

Heads-up

Alex Foxen Vs Yixi Tang: HU Event #44: $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty WSOP 2026

Alex started heads-up with a big chip lead, but Tang quickly closed the gap. First, the Chinese player doubled up with T♠7♠ against K♣5♦, hitting a seven on the turn. Then Foxen got all-in with A♥2♦ on a 5♥2♣T♥2♥4♣ board, but lost to Tang's Q♥6♥ flush.

In one key hand, Alex triple-bet with 9♣2♦ on a 6♦5♥8♣6♠4♥ board, turning his hand into a bluff. Tang pondered his decision for a long time, but finally called with K♥8♥, winning a big pot and taking the chip lead.

But despite losing the lead, the US player quickly regained the initiative. The key moment was Tang's big bluff with J♦7♣ on a board of A♥6♦2♣9♠5♥. Foxen contemplated for a long time, but eventually called with 7♠6♥ and took down the pot.

After that, Alex began building his stack again, and in the final hand, Foxen's K♣6♠ held against Tang's Q♠3♦. The flop of Q♦4♥T♠ gave the Chinese player the lead, but the K♦ on the turn turned the tables. A jack on the river changed nothing, and Alex Foxen won his fourth WSOP bracelet.
