Biography
Foxen had early exposure to poker through home games with her family and friends. Inspired by Jennifer Harman in particular, having watched her play on the legendary Poker After Dark, Foxen began her poker journey playing online during her freshman year in college back in 2006. Foxen was studying psychology at the time. The grind took centre stage for Foxen early in her career. She achieved Supernova Elite status on PokerStars in 2011, 2012, and 2013, a milestone that required playing approximately 2.5 million hands per year. Foxen was playing $1/$2 to $2/$4 stakes at a massive volume, playing as many as 24 tables at a time.
Her first major score in the live scene came in 2013, as she won her first WSOP Bracelet in the $1,000 Ladies No Limit Hold’em Championship for $173,922. There was no looking back for Foxen after her first major score, and she has been competing mainly in the live domain since then. Her next major score came in 2016, when she won the $1,500 No Limit Hold’em Bounty for $290,768. Her next six-figure score came in 2017, when she won the $5,200 No Limit Hold’em WPT event for $199,840.
Foxen found consistent cashes and success. She was playing high rollers as early as 2018 and continued to cash as she moved up in stakes. Foxen cashed in her first €100,000 buy-in at the Triton Super High Roller in Rozvadov at the PartyPoker Millions for €213,000. In 2020, she won her third WSOP bracelet in Event #44: $2,500 NLHE 6-Handed for $356,412 after racking up 10 cashes in the Super High Roller Bowl Online event the same year. In 2023, Foxen won her fourth WSOP Bracelet, her first online bracelet, winning the $888 Crazy 8’s for $92,142. 2024 saw Foxen bag her career-best score, having run deep in the $10,000 Main Event at the WSOP. She finished 13th for a score of $600,000, before going on to win a fifth bracelet and second online, Event #19: $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Max during WSOP Online for $56,703.
2025 saw Foxen attend the Triton Poker Series more regularly, an endeavour that proved fruitful for the Canadian super-pro. She secured her biggest career cash to that point in Jeju, wining $1,104,000 for a third-place finish in the $125,000 Triton7-Handed event. The following year, she returned to the same venue to play the $100,000 Triton Main Event, where she bested her career-highest score by finishing 4th for $1,449,000. She then returned to Vegas for the US Poker Open, where she won the title in the $10,000 No Limit Hold’em for $198,000 and finished runner-up in the $25,000 No Limit Hold’em for $264,000.
