Alex Foxen Wins Record-Breaking WPT Five Diamond Poker Classic Main Event

Alex Foxen has won $1,694,995 at the record setting WPT Five Diamond over the weekend.

“It feels, I don’t know… surreal,” Foxen said in the moments following the win. “It’s kind of hard to put into words, but it feels amazing. The last time I got to this spot, I was a little bit disappointed in the way that I played heads up. It’s just incredible to get the opportunity again and be fortunate enough to pull out the win. I don’t have words.”

He topped 1,035 entries to win.

Alex Foxen picked up another seven-figure score on Saturday.https://t.co/B8lyzXCBNU
