Kristen Foxen Makes History As First Female Five-Time WSOP Bracelet Winner

 Last week, Kristen Foxen added a fifth World Series of Poker bracelet to her overall tally after besting the 172-player field in Event #19: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Max during the WSOP Online bracelet series. Along with the wristwear, Foxen pocketed $56,703 for her efforts after firing three bullets into the tournament. 


Kristen Foxen has made poker history, becoming the first female player ever to win Five World Series of Poker gold bracelets.

Third online bracelet

Over the summer, Foxen made waves with a deep run in the WSOP Main Event, eventually falling just short of the final table. At the time, many within the poker community offered Foxen their full-throated support, both on the rail and on social media. 

This time around, the Canadian closed in spectacular style to add #5 to her growing collection, which now includes two live wins at the summer series in Las Vegas (2013, 2016) and three online wins (2020, 2023, 2025). 


Team Foxen added his and her hardware in the same week

Foxen now has more than $7.1 million in recorded tournament earnings, making her the second-highest-earning female player in history behind only Vanessa Selbst ($10,899,027 in career cashes).

Foxen and Selbst are now tied for the most WSOP bracelets won in open events, with each having four such victories. Foxen also took down one limited-field tournament at the series: the 2013 WSOP ladies no-limit hold’em championship, which saw her defeat a field of 954 entries in a $1,000 buy-in to secure her first piece of hardware and the $173,922 top prize.

Three years after that she emerged victorious in a $1,500 no-limit hold’em bounty event with $290,768 and her second WSOP title. Her third came online during the inaugural WSOP Online held in 2020. That saw her best an 892-entry field in a $2,500 no-limit hold’em six-max tournament on GGPoker to earn $356,412.

Foxen’s latest WSOP title came on WSOP.com’s New Jersey and Nevada network, playing under the screen name ‘krissyb24’. The strong turnout for the event built a prize pool of $393,600.

The WSOP has not yet posted full real-name results for the event, which took place on Sunday, but Card Player can confirm that several accomplished tournament regulars ran deep in the event, including Jeff Platt (22nd), 2013 WSOP main event winner Ryan Riess (20th), Shannon Shorr (19th), bracelet winner Mike Holtz (18th), bracelet winner Guy Dunlap (15th), two-time bracelet winner Drew O’Connell (10th), Landon Tice (9th), bracelet winner Ian Steinman (7th), eight-time WSOP Circuit ring winner Matt Stout (6th), Dylan Destefano (3rd), and bracelet winner John Ripnick (2nd).


Poker's power couple 

It's been a big week in the Foxen household as her win comes just days after her husband, Alex Foxen, captured his second WSOP bracelet in Event #17: $500 Pot-Limit Omaha Mystery Bounty on October 23. For his victory, Foxen took home the bling and $20,064 in prize money, plus $19,207 in bounties. 

A little more than a week ago, the husband-and-wife high roller duo had a combined five WSOP bracelets. Now, they've increased that total to seven in just a few days' time.
