Queen Adds Another Crown: Kristen Foxen Wins Sixth WSOP Bracelet

Las Vegas, NV (June 8, 2026) – Canadian poker pro Kristen Foxen, known as the "Poker Queen," added another milestone at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) 57th Annual Event. She emerged victorious in one of the most competitive events, the $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller, defeating American pro Galen Hall heads-up to win her sixth WSOP bracelet and the largest cash of her career: $1,773,083.

Another Stunning Chapter in a Legendary Career

Foxen's first WSOP bracelet came in 2013 in the $1,000 Ladies Event, and she has since won across various events. Her six bracelets span different buy-in levels and formats:

• 2013: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Ladies Event – $173,922
• 2016: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Bounty – $290,768
• 2020: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed – $356,412
• 2023: $888 No-Limit Hold'em Crazy 8's – $92,142
• 2024: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed – $56,703
• 2026: $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller – $1,773,083

In addition to her six bracelets, Foxen has a 13th-place finish in the WSOP Main Event. Her total live tournament earnings approach $19 million (source: TheHendonMob), making her the highest-earning woman in poker history. The $1,773,083 score ranks as the fifth-largest single cash by a woman, trailing only Liv Boeree ($2,800,000), Gao Wenling ($2,748,605), Annette Obrestad ($2,013,733), and Natasha Mercier ($1,800,000).

Final Table Action: Foxen's Road to Victory

This $25K High Roller lasted until Day 4, with Foxen facing top-tier talent. Early at the final table, she patiently waited for opportunities. First, she eliminated Spain's Ignacio Moron, who moved all-in with A-T and was called by Foxen's pocket eights; Moron finished 5th. Then, Foxen bluffed China's Biao Ding in a massive pot and forced then-chip leader Galen Hall to fold AK preflop to her 4-bet. Later, Foxen rivered a flush to eliminate Ding (K7 all-in vs. Foxen's A8), taking third place.

Entering heads-up play, Foxen and bracelet winner Hall were nearly even in chips. Hall rivered a flush to beat Foxen's two pair, retaking the lead and putting Foxen at a 2:1 chip disadvantage. But Foxen used her vast experience to grind back. The key hand saw both players hit a straight on the turn, but Foxen held a queen-high straight (better than Hall's jack-high) and shoved nearly all her chips, putting victory in sight. On the final hand, Foxen limped on the button, Hall moved all-in with A4o, and Foxen snap-called with pocket aces to win.
