The Numbers Behind Kristen Foxen’s Incredible Heater

When Kristen Foxen won the 2026 WSOP $25,000 High Roller on Sunday, it was her first outright victory in a major nosebleed event. It was also the exclamation point on one of the most sustained periods of elite tournament poker anyone has produced in recent memory.

Since finishing 13th in the 2024 WSOP Main Event for $600,000, the six-time bracelet winner has been making final tables so regularly they might as well reserve her a seat. Few, if any, have come close to matching her record in that time. And with the WSOP just two weeks in, there’s no indication she’s stopping any time soon.

Four seven-figure scores. Twenty-three final tables. Nearly $11 million in prize money. Almost all of it earned against the best players in the world, in the toughest tournaments.

The reigning GPI Female Player of the Year and women’s all-time money leader isn’t just the best female player in the world right now, she’s one of the best players in the world. Period.

And the numbers might be even more remarkable than you thought…

Four $1m + Scores in 9 Months

In just over nine months, Foxen has recorded four separate tournament scores worth more than $1 million, all coming in some of the toughest fields and biggest buy-in events on the poker calendar.

Three of those results came on the Triton Super High Roller Series, where she finished 3rd, 4th, and 2nd in big buy-in events, before finally converting one of those deep high roller runs into an outright victory by winning the WSOP $25,000 High Roller 8-Handed on Sunday.

Final Table Machine

The Canadian has become something of a final-table machine over the past couple of years, reaching 23 final tables since July 2024, including 12 top-three finishes.

Perhaps even more impressive is how often those cashes turn into deep runs. In the last 12 months alone, Foxen has made the final table in 13 of her 36 recorded live cashes, including nine final tables already in 2026.

Across those 23 final tables since July 2024, she has converted five into victories, while finishing inside the top three on 12 separate occasions, underlining just how frequently she is now at the sharpest end of poker’s most elite fields.

Crushing Triton

Of course, it is almost impossible to talk about the high roller circuit these days without mentioning Triton in more detail, and Foxen’s results on the tour account for a major part of her recent heater.

Since her deep WSOP Main Event run, she has accumulated $5,987,000 in Triton cashes alone, across 16 in-the-money finishes, including seven top-nine finishes. Three of those results have been worth more than $1 million, and she has cashed at least twice at each of the last six Triton stops she has entered during this stretch.

She arrived at this year’s WSOP straight off the back of Triton’s Montenegro stop, carrying momentum from a 4th-place finish, a runner-up, and a 16th-place result into the summer series.

A Crazy 2026 Already (And More to Come?)

It’s impossible to overstate just how incredible Foxen’s 2026 has been so far. With 13 cashes already in the calendar year, she has amassed $5,709,182 to date, averaging a staggering $438,000 per cash.

To put that into context, Kristen Foxen’s 2026 alone would rank inside the top 500 poker players of all time and as the sixth-most successful female player in history. With two wins and nine final tables already under her belt, she is rapidly closing in on $19 million in lifetime live earnings and currently sits 80th on poker’s all-time money list.

For anyone who has been paying attention, though, it is hardly a surprise. Her husband and fellow crusher Alex Foxen perhaps summed it up best, telling PokerNews ahead of her latest victory: “It’s surprisingly normal, these types of spots… [Kristen] knows what to do.”

Foxen herself echoed that same assuredness after the win, telling PokerNews, “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.” After the past 24 months she has put together, absolutely nobody could disagree.
