Kristen Foxen Rolls Deep in $100K Triton Jeju Main Event, Cashing $1.4M+ Payday

The Milton, Ontario native navigated a brutal field of 178 entries to reach the final table, finishing among the top contenders before falling just short of the title.

Kristen Foxen entered the Triton Jeju $100K Main Event final table eyeing multiple women's poker records, including toppling Liv Boeree's biggest single tournament cash and Ebony Kenney's Triton mark, plus Sosia Jiang's series lead. Needing a top-three finish, the Canadian star's run ended in fourth ($1,449,000 USD) after jamming 6♠A♥ A6 from the big blind into chip leader Ben Tollerene's dominatingK♠A♠, which held through the full runout.

Foxen's 17th-place finish in the $30K Event #3 served as the perfect warm-up for the Canadian pro, carrying her momentum all the way to the Triton Jeju Main Event final table.

Ben Tollerene ran away with the title, securing his second Triton Main Event win and $3,766,000 USD first prize. The American pro started chip leader and never surrendered, eliminating three players during heads-up play against Philip Sternheimer after a brutal runout sealed the deal on the final hand.
