Alex Foxen Wins Third World Series of Poker Bracelet, Second Triton Trophy and a Huge Pile of Cash in the Bahamas

Alex Foxen is still seven years away from being eligible for the poker Hall of Fame, but the 33-year-old is on a trajectory that should make him a shoe-in once he hits 40 — the cut-off age for potential inductees.

He added another accolade to his bulging poker resume by winning his third World Series of Poker bracelet and his second Triton trophy in the $100,000 Triton Main Event that took place at the Atlantis Resort, Paradise Island, in the BahamasParadise. The win also came with the humongous payday of $3.85 million.

The event attracted 181 high-rollers who built a prize pool of $18.2 million. The top 31 were paid at least $160,000, and included Stephen Song, Sorel Mizzi, Justin Bononmo, Chris Brewer, and Jason Koon.

The top five players won at least $1 million. This was Foxen’s second seven-figure cash within the week, as he won $2.8 million for finishing six in the $500,00 buy-in event won by Alejandro Lococo.

“It’s pretty surreal to get a second Triton win, third bracelet, all these things,” Foxen said in his post-game interview. “I ran really good. I feel like I played almost as well as I could. Just super happy with the moment.

It’s nice to get a couple of these, especially after spending so long away from Triton. It feels like Triton has become the pinnacle of the high stakes poker scene and having been away from that I definitely feel like I came back a maybe a little bit forgotten and potentially underestimated. So it’s exciting to get a couple right away.”

Finishing runner-up was Joao Viera, the superstar from Portugal who went over $10 million in lifetime winnings with a $2.59 million cash.

Fedor Holz started the table with 73 big blinds, but fizzled in third place, which was good for $1.8 million. The German professional and Triton regular is approaching the $50 million mark.

Russian Aleksandr Zubov shattered his previous best cash of $278,000 for finishing fifth in a $20,000 Triton Poker Super High Roller Series event in March with a $1.482 million prize here. Before the year started, his best cash was for $36,883 in 2021. He beat that seven times in 2024.

This was Finland’s Ossi Ketola’s fifth tournament cash, according to the Hendon Mob, and he already is close to $5 million in winnings. To make that sentence even more absurd, all those cashes came in the last month or so. That already puts him sixth on the all-time money list for Finnish players. David Coleman, Samuel Millar, Dimitar Danchev, and Seth Davie rounded-out the final table.
