Poker pro Alex Foxen seems to always win big. The 35-year-old American once again emerged victorious, winning the $75,000 pot-limit Omaha six-max event at the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju.

The tournament attracted a total of 60 entries and generated a prize pool of $4,500,000.

Foxen was the last man standing after the dust had settled, taking home the title and $1,260,000 cash prize. 

With this win, he joined an elite group of only fifteen players in Triton history who have won four or more titles.

Foxen also got a score of seven figures for the tenth time with this win. He is now eighth on the all-time poker money list, having won almost $58.3 million in live events. Foxen has had a successful series.

Before this win, he finished seventh in a $30,000 no-limit hold'em turbo tournament, earning $132,000, and fourth in a $50,000 turbo bounty tournament for $227,000.

After the win, Foxen said that things went well for him during the tournament. A lot of his long run was luck, he said. The cards just fell during the right time.

A Hot Start and a Crucial Early Battle

The event took place at Landing Entertainment Seoul's LES A Casino, and the prize pool was $4.5 million. Only the top ten players were in the money.

Twenty-time Triton Champion Jason Koon was one of the most popular players who didn't make it into the money.

Sternheimer ultimately finished in 6th and took home $280,000 after a strong run in the tournament.

Isaac has now made over $66,500,000 in his career, and this is his fifth final table of the year, showing how well he's doing in 2026.

Dominant Heads-Up Performance Seals the Win

Foxen entered the heads-up battle with a massive chip advantage over Eelis Parssinen. Foxen had 108 big blinds, while Eelis had 13.
