Kristen Foxen won her sixth WSOP bracelet on Saturday, taking the $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller for $1,773,083 and beating Galen Hall heads-up. The trophy was special enough on its own. Who handed it to her made it unforgettable: her husband, Alex Foxen, who walked up to present the bracelet days after winning one of his own.
It was her first live bracelet since the two married and she began competing as Kristen Foxen rather than Kristen Bicknell. Already one of the most accomplished women in tournament poker, she now has six pieces of WSOP gold — and the latest is her largest live score to date.
Two champions under one roof
Alex had set the stage earlier in the week, winning the $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold’em for $594,246 and his fourth career bracelet. That made the Foxens the rare poker couple to both bag bracelets in the same series — and turned an ordinary High Roller payout ceremony into a family affair when Alex stepped in to do the honours for Kristen.
For a partnership that spends its summers grinding the same brutal high-roller schedule, often busting each other’s dreams at adjacent tables, the symmetry was almost too neat. Both deep, both winning, both standing on the same stage.
The heads-up that sealed it
Getting there meant surviving a final table thick with elite talent before the duel with Galen Hall, a former EPT Grand Final champion who is no soft landing heads-up. Kristen closed it out to bank the seven-figure top prize and move into rarefied company on the all-time women’s bracelet list.
The win lands in the middle of a 2026 WSOP that keeps producing storylines, with the Poker Players Championship and the $10,000 Main Event still to come. The Foxens, naturally, will be in both — and after a fortnight like this one, few would bet against another bracelet finding its way back to their household before the summer is out.
