A Career Defined by Consistency
Foxen has finished inside the top 20 for eight straight years, with his last seven results all inside the top 10. Few players in poker history can claim such sustained excellence across high roller and major open events.
In 2025 alone, Foxen has:
- Captured 4 tournament titles.
- Made 17 final tables that qualify for POY scoring.
- Accumulated 8,483 POY points, putting him in third place overall behind Jesse Lonis (9,249) and Punnat Punsri (8,604).

Poker Masters 2025 Event #6: The Breakdown
The Poker Masters is one of the most prestigious high-roller series of the year, featuring elite competition, televised coverage on PokerGO, and critical PGT leaderboard points.
Event #6 carried a $10,000 buy-in and drew 109 entries, creating a prize pool packed with poker’s top talents.
Foxen began the final day in the middle of the pack, trailing early chip leader Martin Zamani. But as is so often the case, Foxen navigated the swings with patience, aggression, and impeccable timing to reach heads-up play and ultimately capture the trophy.
Final Table Recap
Sixth Place – Bin Weng ($55,000)
Two-time WPT champion Bin Weng was the first casualty of the final table. Short on chips, Weng defended his big blind with 9♣7♣ against Doug Lee’s button raise holding K♥8♣. The flop brought 10♠9♦8♦, giving both players a piece. Weng check-called before jamming the turn with his pair and straight draw, but Lee’s trip eights held, sending Weng to the rail.
Fifth Place – RJ Sullivan ($71,000)
Florida pro RJ Sullivan lost a pivotal preflop flip when his A♠Q♣ couldn’t outrun Foxen’s J♦J♣. Reduced to just six big blinds, he was soon eliminated by Andrew Lichtenberger’s pocket aces. Despite the tough finish, Sullivan earned the second-largest score of his career.
Fourth Place – Andrew Lichtenberger ($98,000)
Andrew “LuckyChewy” Lichtenberger, a WSOP bracelet winner and respected high roller, shoved K♥J♥ into Doug Lee’s J♠J♦. Despite picking up a flush draw, Lichtenberger bricked the turn and river. He secured $98,000, along with his 14th PGT cash of the season, which moved him into eighth in the leaderboard race.
Third Place – Martin Zamani ($125,000)
Chip leader to start the day, Martin Zamani found himself short after losing a key all-in with 9♠8♠ against Doug Lee’s A♥K♠. His final hand came against Foxen, when Zamani’s pocket nines were crushed by queens. He departed with $125,000, raising his lifetime tournament haul to $7.9 million.
Runner-Up – Doug Lee ($180,000)
Canadian pro Doug Lee played fearless poker to reach heads-up with the chip lead. After trading doubles with Foxen, Lee found himself in a dramatic final hand:
- Lee held Q♣3♣ against Foxen’s J♣8♠.
- The flop fell 8♣6♦3♥, giving Foxen top pair and Lee bottom pair.
- The Q♥ turn gave Lee queens up, but the 8♥ river improved Foxen to trip eights.
- Lee paid off Foxen’s all-in shove, ending his run in second place.
Lee took home $180,000, the third-largest score of his career, pushing his lifetime earnings past $2.5 million.
Champion – Alex Foxen ($272,000)
Foxen’s road to victory was marked by key doubles, disciplined calls, and fearless river heroics. One of the defining hands saw Foxen correctly call Lee’s large river bluff with nothing more than queen high, demonstrating both his courage and sharp instincts.
In the end, Foxen lifted the Poker Masters trophy and added yet another milestone to his already remarkable 2025 campaign.
