Kristen Foxen just won her sixth WSOP bracelet, marking the biggest score of her career. In her winner’s interview, Foxen talks about why representation matters at the tables and hopes her visibility encourages more young women to take a seat.
She sees herself as a role model for aspiring female poker players and believes that seeing someone like her succeed helps others believe they can do it too.
“I hope that future generations can look at my success and believe they can achieve the same.”

Kristen Foxen has finally ticked the last remaining box in her poker career according to her own standards. After years of winning bracelets in what she considered lesser events, she took down the WSOP $25K High Roller for $1.7 million and her sixth bracelet, outlasting a field that PokerNews described as “all the best pros in the world.”
“It feels like where I’m supposed to be and what I’m supposed to be doing. I’m just so blessed that I found poker, that I’m able to do this,” Foxen told PokerNews after her win.
Galen Hall made things interesting by coming into the final day with a monster chip lead, but ultimately Foxen was the last one standing. This marks her fourth seven-figure cash in the last year and the fourth-highest live tournament payout for a female player ever.
