Poker Prodigy Alex Foxen's Shines Again: Taking Down U.S. Poker Open Event #7
Alex Foxen, the ace of high-stakes poker, once again reigned supreme at the 2025 U.S. Poker Open, storming through Event #7 - $15,100 No-Limit Hold'em. This thrilling contest unfolded at the electrifying PokerGO studio in the heart of Sin City, Las Vegas. With a turnout of 81 participants, Foxen pocketed a cool $340,200 for his triumph.
Foxen's victory marked a historic moment for the poker family. Just a week prior, his better half, Kristen Foxen, clinched the inaugural event, Event #1 ($5,100 No-Limit Hold'em), pocketing an impressive $158,025.
As the action came down to the final table, Alex Foxen was the clear chip leader, but David Coleman kept him on his toes. Struggling in the shadows was Cheryl Andrews, who made history as the GPI Female Player of the Year in 2024. However, her short stack was her undoing as she exited in 7th place after her A-K was bested by Nick Seward's aces.
A pivotal turning point in the tournament arrived when Foxen and Coleman squared off. Foxen landed a set of kings on the flop, while Coleman held a combo draw for a flush and straight. The chips went all-in on the turn, but a disappointing river didn't help Coleman, who was sent home in 6th place with $60,750 in prize money. From there, Foxen seized the lead and never looked back, sealing the deal with a dominant performance.
