Kristen Foxen Wins Sixth WSOP Bracelet for $1.77M
Foxen takes the 2026 $25K eight-max event, extending her women's all-time records.
Kristen Foxen won her sixth World Series of Poker gold bracelet this week, taking down the 2026 WSOP $25,000 eight-max event for a career-best $1,773,083, according to Card Player.
Why It Matters
The win extends Foxen's lead on two of poker's most closely watched records for women: the all-time money list and the WSOP titles leaderboard among female players. A $1.77 million payday in a $25,000 buy-in event signals elite-field dominance, not a soft-field score — the eight-max format typically draws professional grinders who maximise edge in short-handed play. For iGaming operators and poker platforms, Foxen's profile raises the commercial ceiling for women's poker sponsorships and content partnerships. Gambling involves risk; tournament results at this level reflect both skill and significant variance over a single event.
Context
As of June 2026, Foxen already held the record for most WSOP bracelets by a female player before this victory. Her previous five bracelets and consistent deep runs in high-stakes events had already placed her women's all-time earnings well above any predecessor, per Card Player.
What's Next
Foxen will likely target further WSOP events in the current 2026 series, where additional bracelet opportunities remain open. Any seventh bracelet would push her further into historically uncharted territory for women in live tournament poker.
