Alex Foxen closed out the main 2025 PGT season on Saturday with his 12th career title, and it will help his positioning in the upcoming $1 million freeroll Championship event.
The high-stakes legend took down the PGT Last Chance Series Event #6: $10,100 No-Limit Hold’em for $232,400, outlasting a field of 83 entrants, including his heads-up foe, Brandon Wilson. Foxen, thanks to the 232 PGT points he earned, overtook Sam Soverel for the PGT points lead, which will come in handy on Monday (more on this in a bit).
Foxen Has Pole Position
After Wilson, who won Event #3, busted Andrew Lichtenberger in third place ($107,900) at the final table, he had a slight lead over Foxen. That lead would only increase. In fact, it quickly rose to a point where it appeared Wilson was on the verge of winning his second of the six events in the series.
With Foxen down 7:1 in chips, he won a 60/40 to double up. Moments later, he won another 60/40 to double into the chip lead, albeit only by a few chips. Wilson regained the lead before, yet again, Foxen won a 60/40 for a double up, this time moving into a commanding chip lead. He’d soon finish his opponent off, and you’re never going to guess how the final hand played out. Yep, that’s right, Foxen was all in preflop in a similar situation, and the board ran out favorably for the former college football athlete.
Event #6 Final Table Results
| Place | Name | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alex Foxen | $232,400 |
| 2 | Brandon Wilson | $149,400 |
| 3 | Andrew Lichtenberger | $107,900 |
| 4 | Josh Arieh | $78,850 |

| 6 | Aram Oganyan | $41,500 |

Wilson took home $149,400 as a consolation prize, and the 149 PGT points he earned for the runner-up finish brought him to 40th place on the PGT leaderboard, enough to start the PGT Championship freeroll on Monday with 160,000 chips. He’ll be at a disadvantage against Foxen, who catapulted into the top spot, and that means he’ll begin play with the largest stack — 350,000. Soverel, in second place, will begin with 340,000, followed by Chino Rheem with 330,000, Michael Mizrachi with 320,000, and Joao Simao rounds out the top five with a 310,000-chip starting stack.
There are 65 players who earned a seat to the freeroll, a no-limit hold’em tournament that kicks off at 1 p.m. PT inside the PokerGO Studio on the Las Vegas Strip. Day 1 will play down to the final six, and the winner, who will receive $500,000, will be crowned on Tuesday. Isaac Haxton, Jason Koon, Jeremy Becker, and Daniel Negreanu are among the participants.
