Negreanu and Foxen Make Final Table of $600 WSOP Event

Update: Daniel Negreanu and Alex Foxen both reached the final table of Event #28: $600 Deepstack Mixed No-Limit Hold’em; Pot-Limit Omaha on Tuesday evening. Foxen is the chip leader, while Negreanu finds himself sixth in chips. WSOP Circuit crushers Maurice Hawkins and Josh Reichard are also among the nine players still in contention.

It’s no surprise to see Daniel Negreanu and Alex Foxen run deep at the WSOP… but not usually in a $600 tournament.

With just 9 remaining in Tuesday’s $600 Deepstack Mixed NLH/PLO, the cream has well and truly risen to the top, with some of the game’s biggest names sitting on big stacks at the head of what was a 3,332-entry field.

There’s $204,140 up top and a gold bracelet waiting at the finish line, so plenty to play for, even by high roller standards.

Here’s a look at one of the craziest remaining fields you’re ever likely to see in an event this big, one that looks far more suited to a $25k event than the usual recreational stampede.

Negreanu Has Never Won a WSOP Event This Big

For all of Kid Poker’s seven WSOP bracelets, if he can take this one down, it would by some distance be the largest-field WSOP event he has ever won.

Far from the 3,332 entries in this one, his victory in the $2,000 Limit Hold’em at the 2008 WSOP came in what is still his biggest WSOP field win to date, with 479 entries. Incidentally, Negreanu banked $204,874 when he took down that event, almost the exact same as he would earn if he goes all the way today.

In many ways, it has been a frustrating summer for Negreanu so far. His only two cashes to date both came in championship events, the $10,000 No Limit 2-7 Lowball and the $25,000 Heads-Up Championship, the buy-ins of both events underlining just what a novelty it is to see him run so deep in a $600 tournament.

Navigating a field of thousands to win bracelet number eight would certainly be a riposte to anyone who thinks the Canadian is any less of a player than he once was.

Foxen’s Are Running Deep Everywhere You Look

It seems everywhere you look at the WSOP over the last few days, a Foxen has a big pile of chips in front of them.

Alex Foxen is the chip leader in this $600 tournament at the time of writing, and will be hoping to add a second bracelet to the family haul this week after his wife, Kristen Foxen, took down the $25,000 High Roller just a couple of days ago.

Like Negreanu, if Foxen can close this one out it would come against by far the largest WSOP field he has ever won, with his WSOP Online PLO $200K GTD Mystery Bounty 6-Max bracelet in 2024 coming against a field of 466 players.

For Foxen, one of the most recognizable and consistent figures on the high roller circuit, to take this down in a massive, low buy-in field would mark a very different kind of title than he’s become accustomed to.

Best Final Table of a $600 WSOP Ever?

With over 50 WSOP Circuit rings and 10 WSOP bracelets at the table, this must surely be the most stacked final table in WSOP history for a low-stakes tournament.

Between Negreanu, Foxen, Maurice Hawkins, and mid-stakes GOAT Josh Reichard, plus more, this event looks set to produce an incredible final stretch of action tonight:
