WSOP 2026: Alex Foxen Shows Mastery and Claims Fourth Bracelet in Super Turbo Bounty (Event #44)

Article cover

Event #44 with a $10,000 buy-in in NLH Super Turbo Bounty format was an exhilarating highlight of WSOP 2026 Day 20. The tournament drew 466 entries, generating a total prizepool of $4,333,800 ($2,935,800 for placements and $1,398,000 in bounty rewards for eliminating opponents).

The day was marked by a notable incident involving well-known Czech player Martin Kabrhel. When only three tables remained, tensions flared between him and Martin Zamani, known for his straightforwardness, who lost patience with Kabrhel's constant tanking.

The conflict escalated to such a degree that tournament staff had to intervene. Kabrhel eventually finished in 21st place, earning $22,601, while Zamani advanced to the final table.

The final showdown was controlled by Alex Foxen, who entered the final table as the chipleader. Despite a fierce heads-up challenge from Chinese player Yixi Tang, who briefly overtook the lead, the American professional managed to reclaim control.

In the final hand of the tournament, Tang went all-in with Q s 3 d, which Foxen called with K c 6 s. The board Q d 4 h T s K d J d secured the victory for Foxen, who joined his wife Kristen in claiming a bracelet during WSOP 2026.
