WSOP Day 13: Foxen & Kihara Win Gold, Brewer Leads
Two bracelets awarded on Day 13 as Chris Brewer tops the $10K Dealer's Choice field in Las Vegas.
Alex Foxen and Kihara claimed gold bracelets on Day 13 of the 2026 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, while Chris Brewer took the chip lead in the $10,000 Dealer's Choice Championship, according to PokerNews (June 2026).
Why It Matters
Bracelet wins carry direct implications for tournament poker's prestige economy — each gold counts toward the WSOP Player of the Year race, where a single result can shift standings materially. Foxen, already one of the most decorated live tournament players in the world, adding another title reinforces his dominance at the series. For recreational and semi-professional players tracking the 2026 WSOP, Day 13 signals the series is moving through its mid-stage high-rollers and mixed-game slate at pace. Gambling involves risk; spectating the WSOP is free, but participation at these buy-in levels carries significant financial exposure.
Context
The WSOP runs annually at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, typically scheduling 90-plus bracelet events across roughly seven weeks. The $10,000 Dealer's Choice is one of the series' most technically demanding events, requiring proficiency across multiple poker variants rather than No-Limit Hold'em alone. Brewer holding the chip lead at this stage of a $10K mixed-game field places him among a small, highly skilled remaining field.
What's Next
Brewer and the remaining Dealer's Choice field will return to play down to a winner in the coming days. Further bracelet events — including additional high-stakes and open buy-in tournaments — continue running concurrently through the series' scheduled close.
