Alex Foxen Wins USPO Event #7 for 13th PGT Title

The win tightens the U.S. Poker Open points race heading into higher-value $15K and $25K events.

Overview

  • Alex Foxen topped a 70-entry field in Event #7: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em at the U.S. Poker Open, defeating Jeremy Ausmus heads-up to earn $210,000 from a $700,000 prize pool.
  • The win is Foxen's 13th PokerGO Tour title, a mark reported as second all-time behind Sam Soverel's 14 by some outlets and as a tie at 13 by PokerNews.
  • Jeremy Ausmus recorded his third runner-up finish of the series, which keeps him near the top of the leaderboard despite not yet winning a title.
  • Two poker couples have set the pace through seven events, as Alex and Kristen Foxen plus Brock Wilson and Cherish Andrews have combined for five wins.
  • The USPO awards the Golden Eagle trophy and a $25,000 PGT Passport to the overall points leader, and the remaining $15K and $25K events carry heavier points that could reshape the standings at PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas.
