Kristen Foxen: Six-Time WSOP Bracelet Winner and Women’s All-Time Money Leader
POKER HALL OF FAME
Inducted 2014
Kristen Foxen has built one of the most accomplished tournament careers by a woman in poker history, combining six World Series of Poker bracelets with sustained success in high-stakes live events, online poker and major international series.
The Canadian professional reached another level in 2026 when she won the WSOP $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller for $1,773,083, her sixth bracelet and the largest live tournament cash of her career. By August 2026, The Hendon Mob listed Foxen with $19,238,670 in live tournament earnings and first place on the women’s all-time money list.
Her record extends well beyond bracelet victories. Foxen has won five Global Poker Index Female Player of the Year titles, was inducted into the Women in Poker Hall of Fame in 2024 and has produced major results on the PokerGO Tour, Triton Poker circuit and World Poker Tour.
⠀
Who Is Kristen Foxen?
Kristen Foxen is a Canadian professional poker player from St. Catharines, Ontario, who has become a fixture in high-stakes tournament poker. She was known professionally as Kristen Bicknell earlier in her career and has also competed online under the screen name “krissyb24.”
Foxen developed much of her early poker experience online. PokerNews reports that she achieved PokerStars Supernova Elite status in 2011, 2012 and 2013, an accomplishment that required a substantial volume of play and helped establish her as a serious online professional before many of her biggest live tournament results.
Her live career eventually expanded into major international series, WSOP events and increasingly expensive high-roller tournaments. Although most closely associated with no-limit hold’em, Foxen’s tournament history includes results across several formats and both live and online competition.
As of August 2026, Hendon Mob lists Foxen’s nationality as Canadian and her residence as Las Vegas, Nevada.
⠀
Kristen Foxen’s WSOP Career
Foxen’s World Series of Poker record is the centerpiece of her tournament résumé.
According to the World Series of Poker, Foxen has six WSOP bracelets, zero WSOP Circuit rings, 28 final tables and 165 WSOP cashes as of August 2026. The WSOP lists more than $9.1 million in earnings from its events.
Foxen won her first bracelet in 2013, taking down the $1,000 Ladies No-Limit Hold’em Championship for $173,922. Three years later, she added an open-event bracelet by winning the 2016 $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em Bounty event for $290,768.
Her next three bracelets came online:
2020 — $2,500 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Handed for $356,412
2023 — $888 No-Limit Hold’em Crazy 8’s for $92,142
2024 — online no-limit hold’em event for $56,703
Those victories made Foxen the first woman to reach five WSOP bracelets.
Her sixth bracelet produced both a larger payday and a significant high-roller breakthrough. At the 2026 WSOP, Foxen entered the $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller and defeated a 345-entry field that included many established high-stakes professionals.
Foxen defeated Galen Hall heads-up to win $1,773,083. The WSOP’s official report on the victory described it as the biggest tournament win of her career and confirmed that it raised her bracelet total to six.
The victory was particularly significant because it came in an expensive open high-roller rather than a ladies event or online tournament. It demonstrated that Foxen’s WSOP record had developed alongside her growing presence in some of poker’s toughest high-buy-in fields.
⠀
The 2024 WSOP Main Event Run
One of Foxen’s most widely followed tournament performances came without a victory.
In the 2024 WSOP Main Event, Foxen survived deep into a field of more than 10,000 entries and reached the final stages with a chance to become only the second woman to make the official Main Event final table.
Her run ended in 13th place for $600,000.
The result became an important milestone in Foxen’s career because of the Main Event’s scale and visibility. It also came during a period in which she was increasingly producing major results against open fields rather than being defined primarily by her earlier bracelet wins.
Later in 2024, she added her fifth bracelet and was selected for the Women in Poker Hall of Fame.
⠀
Major High-Roller and PokerGO Tour Results
Foxen’s results since 2024 have increasingly come in high-buy-in tournaments featuring many of the game’s established professionals.
She has been especially successful in PokerGO Tour events. In April 2026, Foxen won Event #4 of the U.S. Poker Open, a $10,000 no-limit hold’em tournament, after defeating a 66-entry field. She beat Jeremy Ausmus heads-up and collected $198,000.
The victory was Foxen’s fifth PokerGO Tour title.
Her 2026 international high-roller results were even larger. In March, she finished fourth in the $100,000 Triton Poker Main Event in Jeju for $1,449,000. In May, she finished runner-up in a $50,000 Triton event in Montenegro for $1,039,000.
Those seven-figure finishes were followed only weeks later by her $1.77 million WSOP High Roller victory.
The concentration of major scores illustrates how Foxen’s career has changed over time. Her early reputation was built substantially through online poker and lower-buy-in tournaments. By 2026, she was regularly reaching final tables and recording seven-figure scores in some of the largest buy-in events on the tournament calendar.
⠀
Kristen Foxen’s Tournament Earnings
As of August 2026, Hendon Mob lists Kristen Foxen with $19,238,670 in live tournament earnings.
That figure places her first on the women’s all-time live tournament money list. Hendon Mob also lists her fifth on Canada’s all-time money list and 79th on the overall global money list as of that date.
Her largest recorded live cash is the $1,773,083 she earned for winning the 2026 WSOP $25,000 High Roller.
Tournament earnings are cumulative statistics and will continue to change as Foxen records additional results.
⠀
Global Poker Index Female Player of the Year Awards
Foxen has also distinguished herself through long-term consistency rather than one isolated run of tournament success.
She won the Global Poker Index Female Player of the Year ranking in three consecutive seasons from 2017 through 2019. She later reclaimed the award in 2023.
The Global Poker Index awarded Foxen the title again for 2025, giving her five GPI Female Player of the Year victories.
The five awards span different stages of her career and reflect her ability to remain competitive as her schedule moved increasingly toward stronger and more expensive tournament fields.
⠀
Women in Poker Hall of Fame
Foxen was selected for the Women in Poker Hall of Fame Class of 2024 alongside Jeanne David.
Her induction followed a year in which she finished 13th in the WSOP Main Event and became the first woman to win five WSOP bracelets.
The recognition also reflected the broader significance of her career. Foxen has competed extensively in open tournaments and high rollers while establishing records for both WSOP bracelets and live tournament earnings among women.
Her Hall of Fame selection placed her alongside prominent players and industry figures who have contributed to the development and visibility of women in poker.
⠀
WPT Career
Foxen has also accumulated a significant record on the World Poker Tour, although she has not won a WPT Main Tour title.
The World Poker Tour lists Foxen with 13 Main Tour cashes, two Main Tour final tables and $610,533 in Main Tour earnings as of August 2026. Her WPT profile lists zero Main Tour victories.
Her WPT record is therefore part of a broader tournament career rather than the primary source of her major championship titles.
⠀
Playing Style and Poker Reputation
Foxen’s tournament results show a player whose career has evolved from high-volume online poker into consistent competition against elite live fields.
Her record is concentrated heavily in no-limit hold’em, from her first WSOP bracelets to PokerGO Tour events, Triton high rollers and her 2026 WSOP victory. The progression in buy-ins is notable: Foxen has moved from success in lower-priced events into regular appearances in tournaments costing $25,000, $50,000, $100,000 or more to enter.
Rather than relying on subjective labels about her style, her results provide a clearer measure of her reputation. Foxen has produced major finishes across online poker, large-field championships and small-field high rollers, environments that demand different forms of tournament experience.
Her longevity is another defining characteristic. She was already reaching the highest levels of online poker more than a decade before the seven-figure high-roller run that accelerated in 2025 and 2026.
⠀
Kristen Foxen’s Current Status
Kristen Foxen remains an active high-stakes tournament professional.
Her 2026 results included the U.S. Poker Open victory, multiple seven-figure Triton finishes and her sixth WSOP bracelet. She continued playing throughout the World Series after winning the $25,000 High Roller and later finished ninth in the $50,000 WSOP High Roller for $179,480.
As of August 2026, the WSOP ranks Foxen first on its all-time women’s leaderboard, while Hendon Mob lists her as the women’s all-time live tournament earnings leader.
At this stage of her career, Foxen’s record combines several different forms of achievement: six WSOP bracelets, five GPI Female Player of the Year awards, a Women in Poker Hall of Fame induction, major high-roller titles and more than $19 million in recorded live tournament earnings.
