Alex Foxen ended his PokerGO title drought on Tuesday when he won Event #7: $15,100 PLO in the ongoing PGT PLO series. It was his first PGT title since January of 2023, a drought that would be considered lengthy by Foxen\u2019s standards, considering his vast past success in the PGT.<\/p>\n

It is his eighth career PGT title and first in a PLO event after he came out on top in the 70-entry event to win the grand prize of $315,000. The six-figure top prize amount was enough to move Foxen above $45 million in career earnings as he continues to move up on the all-time career earnings list, currently sitting in 15th place.<\/p>\n

Interestingly enough, this tournament win is actually his first career live non-NLH event win, as he is typically seen as an NLH<\/a> specialist rather than a master of all poker games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 70-entry event was full of top PLO players and PokerGO regulars, making for a challenging field. Only ten players were paid amongst the entire field.<\/p>\n

The final day began with just five players left. Foxen had the chip lead but would have to overcome stiff competition, particularly Josh Arieh and Jesse Lonis. And it would be those three who made up the three-handed battle for the title.<\/p>\n

Despite taking a quick lead during three-handed play, Arieh would eventually be the one to drop out in third place after doubling Foxen up and losing a few more hands to him.<\/p>\n

The heads-up battle was between the GPI top ten players<\/a>, as Lonis was aiming for his second career PGT title. Both were looking to add to the early year race for GPI player of the year after both came close in the 2024 race<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The two players began on reasonably even footing in chips, before Foxen took quick control and never allowed Lonis to get his teeth into the heads-up battle. Foxen ended up winning after only a few hands.<\/p>\n

This win is a nice kick-off to Foxen\u2019s 2025 season. It is his first overall tournament win since December, when he won a bracelet at the WSOP Bahamas. Conversely, his wife Kristen has found great success<\/a> on the PGT in 2025 already.<\/p>\n

Foxen will undoubtedly be looking to use this peformance to round back into form as the busiest part of the poker year approaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
