Seat 6: Alex Foxen (USA) – 1,590,000
Alex Foxen is having the best year of his career that sees him currently ranked number one on the Global Poker Index with career tournament earnings of over $6.7 million.
Late in 2017, Foxen finished runner-up in the WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic. That finish was the catapult to sending Foxen on an unbelievable run all around the world. He captured wins in California, Macau, Las Vegas, and Florida, but just this past week is where Foxen hit his true form at the perfect time.
With the WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic taking place next door at the Bellagio, Foxen defeated Stephen Chidwick heads-up to win the $5,200 No-Limit Hold’em side event, before registering two more final tables after that to more then fund the buy-in for his first ever Super High Roller Bowl. Day 2 appeared to be a dream for Foxen as he rocketed up the leaderboard to hold 25% of the chips in play at one point, but after hitting a few road bumps, he fell to the middle of the pack where he is currently sitting.
If Foxen is to prove victorious today, he will see his career tournament earnings surpass $10 million and he’ll move into the top 70 knocking out Koray Aldemir.
