Two years ago, Kristen Foxen made it clear that her next major goal was to win a World Series of Poker bracelet in what she described as a "tougher" field, saying she wanted to capture one in “an event you feel a bit prouder of.” In Event #19: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em, Foxen found exactly what she was looking for, and completely conquered it. The Canadian outlasted a field of 345 entries stacked with elite pros at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas to capture a historic sixth...

Thread 'Jeff Madsen Seizes Fifth Career WSOP Bracelet With Dealers Choice Victory'

Jeff Madsen exploded on the poker tournament scene in 2006, winning that year’s World Series of Poker Player of the Year race after taking down two bracelets and making four final tables. While the then University of Santa Barbara student’s first two wins both came in no-limit hold’em, he managed deep runs in several mixed-game events that first year, placing third in the $2,000 Omaha eight-or-better and third in the $1,000 stud eight-or-better.

Thread 'Martin Kabrhel Torches $25k Buy-in WSOP High Roller in One Hand'

Yes like that. Poker villain and fan favorite Martin Kabrhel had an early exit from the $25,000 High Roller Six Handed No-Limit Hold’em event at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP), lasting all but one hand to earn himself a "free afternoon." There were dozens of late registrants in Day 2 of the $25,000 buy-in event, and Kabrhel was one of them. But his second and final bullet would be short-lived as he tangled with fellow high-stakes pro Nick Petrangelo with a hand that he described as...

Thread 'Poker in the Shadows: Inside South Korea's Mostly Illegal Poker Scene'

Inside South Korea's Hidden Poker World It’s midnight in Seoul, a city where poker exists in a strange legal gray area.
