Kristen Foxen set a new record in women’s poker with a $1,104,000 third-place finish at the Triton Super High Roller Series in Jeju. The result brought her total earnings to $12,183,462, surpassing Vanessa Selbst for the top all-time spot.

The Triton Super High Roller Series in Jeju, South Korea, concluded with a historic achievement for Canadian professional Kristen Foxen, who secured the largest payout of her career in the final No-Limit Hold’em event.

Foxen finished third in Event #10: $125,000 NLH 7-Handed, earning $1,104,000. The result elevated her total live tournament earnings to $12,183,462, moving her past Vanessa Selbst on the women’s All Time Money List. The milestone made Foxen the highest-earning female player in poker history.

Career-Best Cash For Foxen

The payout marked Foxen’s first seven-figure score and nearly doubled her previous career-high of $600,000, earned from a 13th-place finish in the 2024 WSOP Main Event.
 
The result also represents a significant step in her ongoing presence among the game’s elite, cementing her standing on the global stage.

High-Stakes Battle at Triton

The final stages of the event placed Foxen against two of the most successful players in the Triton series: Stephen Chidwick, a three-time champion, and Mike Watson, who has claimed four Triton titles. 

Entering three-handed play as the short stack, Foxen managed an early double-up to gain momentum.
Soon after, a critical hand unfolded in a blind-versus-blind confrontation. Chidwick moved all-in from the small blind, and Foxen called from the big blind holding a stronger hand. 

The board ran against Foxen, leaving her drawing slim by the turn and eliminated when the river card offered no help.
