Alex Foxen Triumphs Again: Takes Home Trophy and $165,235 from MSPT Poker Bowl X

Poker Bowl X (10th edition) once again served as a Super Bowl magnet, finishing just hours before America's sports pinnacle event. With three starting flights, packed tables, and a total of 740 entries, the tournament surpassed its guarantee, bringing the prizepool to $1,050,800.

Cash prizes awaited the top 82 players, including some elite names. The tournament's quality was further confirmed by the final table featuring champions of major tours, bracelet winners, and seasoned professionals like Daniel Sepiol, Nick Palma, and Alex Foxen.

Foxen Claims Second MSPT Title

In the decisive moments, Alex was characteristically “Foxen-esque” – low on noise, high on calculated pressure. Dan Sepiol, Kenneth Kim, and Hunter Cichy exited sooner than they'd wished, but despite tough competition, Foxen steadily navigated his way to the final heads-up.

Facing a 1:2 deficit against Miquel Maimes, Foxen quickly turned the tables. The pivotal hand unraveled on a board of K h 3 s 9 s 8 d 5 h, where Maimes was behind with K s 4 d against Foxen's set of 3 c 3 d. The trophy and $165,235 cash prize thus went to Alex Foxen, while the defeated runner-up Miquel Maimes took home $122,698.

This victory adds a second MSPT title to Alex's impressive collection, the first dating back to 2018. The satisfied champion had this to say: “It's always a great feeling to achieve a win and secure another title. Along with the victory, I received entry to the MSPT in Florida. I'm pleased to see the series thriving and continuously increasing buy-ins and guarantees. It will definitely be fun!”
