Kristen Foxen (née Bicknell; born December 29, 1986) is a Canadian professional poker player.
Early life
Foxen was born in St. Catharines, Ontario. She drew inspiration from professional poker player, Jennifer Harman, and regularly watched her on Poker After Dark.[3]
Poker career
Foxen began playing poker in her freshman year at college. She played online in 2006 under the alias krissyb24 (PokerStars) and krissy24 (Full Tilt Poker).
Foxen hit Supernova Elite on PokerStars in 2011, 2012 and 2013. This required her to play approximately 2.5 million hands per year. She focused her online games at the $1/$2 to $2/$4 stakes. Foxen calls herself the "Ultimate Grinder" for the volume of hands she plays online.[4] In 2013, she won the $1,000 Ladies No Limit Hold'em Championship at the 2013 World Series of Poker, earning $173,922.[5]
In 2016, Foxen won the $1,500 No-Limit hold'em bounty event and earned $290,768.[6] That same year, she signed with partypoker.[7] In August 2021 Foxen and partypoker parted ways; no reason was given.[8] Also in August 2021, Foxen said she was going to boycott the WSOP, due to her anti-COVID-19 vaccine stance.[9]
Foxen was the highest ranked live tournament female poker player in 2017 with a total GPI points of 2,627.75. She ranked above Maria Lampropulos and Maria Ho. Foxen's largest win of 2017 came in December's WPT Five Diamond Series at Bellagio. She triumphed with a first-place trophy in a $5,200 No-Limit Hold'Em event, outlasting a field of 147 for $199,840.[10]
In January 2018, Foxen appeared on Poker After Dark for a ladies only cash game titled "Femme Fatale" week. She went on to events in Australia and Uruguay, while winning the APPT National High Roller in Macau during March for $2,192,000 HKD (US$279,549). At the final table, she defeated David Peters heads up to top a field of 117, who all entered for $80,000 HKD each.[11]
Foxen continued success in 2019 with eight six-figure cashes for the year. The final of these came in November for $408,000 as part of the Poker Masters series with a first place win after going heads up with Chance Kornuth. Her efforts contributed to finishing 2019 with a third straight GPI Ladies title (3175.37 points).
With the COVID-19 pandemic causing live poker tournaments to cease in most of 2020, Foxen participated in several online poker series through the year. She cashed nine times in the online Super High Roller Bowl series, including a $236,000 score with third place in a $25,500 buy-in event.
Foxen won her third World Series of Poker bracelet as part of its 2020 online series with a $356,412 victory in the $2500 No Limit Hold'Em 6-Handed event. In 2023, she became the first female player to win a fourth World Series of Poker bracelet by winning the 2023 WSOP Online $888 No Limit Hold'Em Crazy 8's event.[12]
As of June 2024, Foxen's total live tournament winnings exceeded $7,600,000.[13]
