Alex Foxen Wins 4th Bracelet, Brandon Wilson Chases Glory in Super High Roller
One of the busiest days yet in the 2026 World Series of Poker saw Alex Foxen win his fourth WSOP bracelet, as he conquered the $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty event. In the $250,000-entry Super High Roller event, the biggest buy-in of the series so far saw PokerStake player Brandon Wilson put himself in a great position with one day to come.
Arieh Cashes, Kabrhel Runs Deep
Just a week after his wife and PokerStake seller Kristen Foxen won her sixth WSOP bracelet in the $25,000 High Roller, Alex Foxen claimed his fourth WSOP title in the $10,000-entry Super Turbo Bounty Event #44 for $594,246 in Las Vegas last night. A thrilling final table saw Foxen initially ride his luck before the final battle almost got away from him. After a rollercoaster of a ride, he eventually beat the Chinese player Yixi Tang to the bracelet and a massive top prize of $594,246
With 466 total entries, the event was one of the biggest of the 2026 WSOP so far, and paid 70 players, including PokerStake seller Josh Arieh, who cashed for $14,380 in 42nd place after yet another profitable tournament. Others to make the money but miss out on the final table included the controversial and outspoken Martin Kabrhel, won $22,601 in 21st place, with Jovan Kenjic collecting $34,112 in 10th place as he just missed out on the final table.
With a huge $4,333,800 prizepool up for grabs, the final nine assembled to play down to a winner in double-quick time. As players such as Jamie Dwan (8th for $55,985) and Sergio Martinez Gonzalez (6th for $99,578) departed, Foxen was in fine fettle, even coming back from a dominated position in the latter case to oust the Spanish player with a nut flush. Foxen’s aces took care of Martin Zamani’s ace-king in fourth place for $191,357 and when the French player Cedric Schwaederle left in third for $272,824, Foxen went into heads-up with an impressive 7:1 chip lead.
Foxen Makes it Four Bracelets in Four Years
That lead didn’t last, with Chinese player Yixi Tang approaching the final duel for gold with the kind of freedom that only someone with nothing to lose and everything to gain has. Coming back to not just level but take the lead, Foxen was on the ropes, but he used all his experience to battle back, staying focused by winning two marginal hands, one with an impressive hero-call.
The American even had time to have his aces cracked before finding king-high ahead of Tang’s queen-high. A queen on the flop gave the Chinese player hope but a king on the turn snuffed it out and Foxen won his fourth bracelet and a top prize of $594,246, with Tang claiming $396,145 as runner-up.

The victory makes it four titles in four years for Alex Foxen, who won his maiden WSOP bracelet when he topped the 2022 $250,000 Super High Roller for $4.56 million, still his biggest ever tournament score. Two years later, two events in the WSOP Online $500 PLO Mystery Bounty 6-Max ($20,064) and the $100,000 Triton No-Limit Hold’em Main Event ($3.85 million) boosted Foxen’s winnings even more. Now this latest victory puts him well clear of $58 million in tournament winnings, and up to ninth on The Hendon Mob All-Time Money List.

Brandon Wilson Chasing Glory
In the $250,000-entry Super High Roller Event, just nine players remain in Event #41, where 15 players entered on Day 2 to bring the total field up to 56. The top prize of $4.3 million is the headline, but all nine players who will fight for the $13,720,000 prizepool – which pays only the final nine – are poker legends.
Top of the remaining players is Bryn Kenney, with The Hendon Mob’s all-time top winning player on a massive stack of 19.35 million chips. Closest to him are two players with varied backgrounds. Poker ‘lifer’ Adrian Mateos (16.9m) is one of the game’s most dedicated pros and has won major titles since he was before 21 in Europe. The Spanish player is followed in the counts by David Einhorn, with the businessman piling up 13.4 million chips by the close of play.
Behind those players is PokerStake’s Brandon Wilson (above), who with 9,625,000 chips, has the best chance yet to win the biggest prize of his poker career and end his wait for a WSOP bracelet in spectacular fashion. Lurking in the lower end of the chipcounts are two of the world’s best players ever to take to the poker table in Jaosn Koon (4,450,000) and Phil Ivey, who with 2,750,000 is the short stack.
