Alex Foxen Wins $25k LHPO High Roller; Kristen Foxen Finishes in 4th Place
The Foxen family is off to a strong start to 2024 with both Kristen Foxen and now Alex Foxen each having won a tournament to start the new year.
On Friday, Alex took down a $25,500 buy-in no-limit hold’em high roller in the Lucky Hearts Poker Open (LHPO) at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Doing so paid the two-time GPI Player of the Year $426,025, and it came just three days after Kristen won a PokerGO Tour event in Las Vegas.
Kristen Foxen also ran deep in South Florida, taking fourth place for $117,325, while Alex Foxen finished in fifth place for $40,000 in the aforementioned PGT event.

Another Day, Another Win
The $25k high roller, part of the 2024 Lucky Hearts Poker Open series, attracted 50 entrants, including a number of top pros. One of those skilled professionals is Kevin Rabichow, who bagged a massive chip lead at the end of Day 1 with five players remaining. He didn’t hold on to that chip lead at the final table and inevitably took second place for $284,050.
LHPO $25k High Roller Final Table Results
Place | Player | Prize |
---|---|---|
1 | Alex Foxen | $426,075 |
2 | Kevin Rabichow | $284,050 |
3 | Thomas Boivin | $172,900 |
4 | Kristen Foxen | $117,325 |
5 | Justin Saliba | $80,275 |
6 | Viktor Ustimov | $61,750 |
Alex Foxen began the final table with under 30 big blinds, but he won an early race against Justin Saliba to double-up, leaving Saliba with crumbs. Foxen then finished him off officially in fifth place ($80,275) moments later.
Although Alex Foxen had doubled into a sizable stack, Rabichow still had firm control over the final table. He’d extend his chip lead to over 170 big blinds when he sent Kristen Foxen home in fourth place when her trip kings ran into kings-full.
Rabichow, one of the best online poker players in the world, then busted Thomas Boivin in third place ($172,900), setting up a heads-up match against Alex Foxen.
Foxen would draw early blood in the match with an all in bet that wasn’t called on a board of J9610J. The game was anyone’s to take at that point. Shortly after, Foxen moved all in with JxJx on a board reading AA749. After tanking, Rabichow decided to call it off with Qi>J and was eliminated in second place for $284,050.
For the Foxens, it was their second family title of the year already to go along with a combined eight final table appearances. The couple posed for a winners photo along with their dog Riley on his 17th birthday.
