Alex Foxen Wins 4th WSOP Bracelet in Super Turbo Bounty as Foxens Take Double Titles

A Couple’s Historic Double in Las Vegas

At the 2026 World Series of Poker, Alex Foxen turned a single $10,000 event into the latest milestone of an already glittering career, claiming his fourth WSOP bracelet in the Super Turbo Bounty. The result was made all the sweeter by timing: just one week earlier, his wife Kristen Foxen had captured her sixth bracelet, making the pair the first husband-and-wife duo ever to win bracelets in the same WSOP season.

Inside the $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty

The event drew 466 entries, building a prize pool of $4,333,800, with 70 players reaching the money. True to its name, the whole tournament was decided in a single day.

The Super Turbo Bounty format pairs rapidly rising blinds with a bounty on every opponent, rewarding decisive aggression while still demanding careful bankroll management. Players cannot afford to wait — every elimination carries an instant cash reward, and stacks shrink fast.

Drama at the Final Table

In the Paris Ballroom, a final table of veterans and rising challengers took shape. Foxen arrived with a sizable stack, but the early exits of Martin Zamani and Sergio Martinez Gonzalez set up a duel with Chinese challenger Yixi Tang, who had clawed his way back from a 7:1 chip deficit. Tang surged into the lead on the back of several bold moves, only for Foxen to answer with a run of well-timed calls and bluffs that swung the momentum back.

The key beats came fast: Foxen’s ace-eight of hearts eliminated Gonzalez, and a decisive king-six call broke Tang. On the final hand, Foxen out-flopped Tang’s queen-three to seal the $594,246 top prize.

How Foxen Built the Win

Foxen’s run was defined by deliberate adjustments. Early on he leaned into the bounty structure, chipping away at opponents and firing aggressive all-ins when the board ran in his favor. As stacks thinned, his experience showed: he stayed disciplined, sidestepped needless risk, and pounced on chances to double up. Against Tang in particular, that blend of patience and aggression ultimately paid off.

Where This Bracelet Ranks

With his fourth title, Foxen joined an elite group of multiple-bracelet winners, putting him alongside legends such as Bobby Baldwin and Joe Cada. His career earnings now exceed $58 million, and the win pushed him to the front of the Player of the Year race — reinforcing his reputation as a player who thrives in both high-roller and turbo formats.
