Alex Foxen Makes Early Statement for WPN with $300K WSOP Finish
Alex Foxen is already making noise as one of WPN’s newest big-name signings.
The WPN Pro opened his 2026 World Series of Poker campaign with a major result, finishing 4th in Event #7: $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold’em Championship for $300,000. That’s a serious early score in one of the toughest high buy-in events of the summer.
For WPN, it’s exactly the kind of result that shows why Foxen was such a major addition to the team.
A Proven High-Stakes Crusher
Foxen has long been regarded as one of the toughest tournament players in the game, especially in elite high-stakes fields. His track record speaks for itself, with back-to-back Global Poker Index Player of the Year honors in 2018 and 2019, multiple WSOP bracelets, and major wins across the global tournament circuit.
That includes a $4.56 million victory in the 2022 WSOP $250,000 Super High Roller and a $3.85 million win in the 2024 Triton Main Event at WSOP Paradise.
Now representing ACR Poker on the Winning Poker Network, Foxen’s deep run in the $25K Heads-Up Championship gives the brand an immediate headline result from one of the most respected players in modern poker.
Moneymaker Adds Another Summer Run
Foxen wasn’t the only WPN Pro making moves early in the 2026 WSOP.
Chris Moneymaker, one of the most recognizable names in poker history, also added another result to his long WSOP story. The 2003 Main Event champion finished 12th in Event #8: $1,500 Badugi, earning $7,095.
Moneymaker’s presence continues to matter because few players are more closely tied to poker’s modern boom. His deep runs still draw attention, and his role alongside Foxen gives WPN two very different but powerful storylines to follow this summer in Las Vegas.
WPN’s Newest Star Delivers Early
Foxen brings proven high-stakes success. Moneymaker brings the legacy.
Together, they give WPN a strong presence at the 2026 World Series of Poker, with one player already making a major statement and another continuing to add to one of the game’s most famous careers.
It’s still early in the summer, but Foxen’s $300,000 finish is a clear reminder that WPN’s roster is built to compete on poker’s biggest stages.
