This was the second year in a row that Foxen won the event

Kristen Foxen secured another impressive victory, taking down the $10,000 finale of the PokerGO Tour (PGT) Kickoff Series on January 25. The Canadian poker pro earned $197,625 for her efforts, adding to her lifetime tournament earnings, which now stand at over $10.6 million. This win brings her within $222,516 of surpassing Vanessa Selbst as the top-earning female poker player in history.

The event, held at the PokerGO Studio in ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, attracted 93 entries, creating a $930,000 prize pool. The top 14 finishers earned payouts, with Foxen clinching her second consecutive victory in this particular tournament. Last year, she defeated Daniel Negreanu heads-up in the same event. This year’s win marks her 14th recorded title and solidifies her position as one of the game’s elite.

Foxen entered the final day of play as the chip leader and faced strong competition, including two-time bracelet winner Joao Simao and PGT Player of the Year Jeremy Ausmus. Key moments included Foxen knocking out Nick Seward and a pivotal hand where Simao eliminated Andrew Moreno in a dramatic three-way all-in.

The final showdown came down to Foxen and Simao, who agreed to split the remaining prize money evenly but continued playing for the trophy and ranking points. The decisive hand saw Foxen call Simao’s all-in bet with a pair of sevens and eights, securing her victory and the title.

This triumph also propelled Foxen to the top of the PGT leaderboard with 525 points for the season. With her continued success, she remains a dominant force in the poker world, inching closer to historic milestones while solidifying her legacy.
