Meet The Players: Alex Foxen
In anticipation of the start of Super High Roller Bowl V, let’s meet some of the players. The most notable first-timer in today’s field will be the No. 1 on the 2018 Player of the Year ranking as well as the overall Global Poker Index ranking, Alex Foxen.
At the start of 2018, the casual poker fan had little to no reason to be aware of the name Alex Foxen, but less than 12 months later there’s little reason not to be aware of his impressive rise on the poker ranks.
Having cashed for nearly $4.5 million since the start of the year and claiming the No. 1 spot on the Player of the Year race, Foxen has arrived and today he’ll be making his debut in the Super High Roller Bowl.
Foxen’s very excited to make his debut at the purple felt today, as winning this tournament would be the pinnacle for him as a player.
“This tournament definitely has a lot of prestige. It’s like a little bit different than the others. It’s a cool experience to play a buy-in this size no matter where it is but this one is extra prestigious, that’s for sure.”
“As a tournament poker player, winning this one is the pinnacle when it comes to single tournament results. It would be an extremely special one to win. It’ll be hard for any tournament other than maybe the WSOP Main Event to feel better to win.”
