Kristen Foxen ended Day 1B of WSOP Event #11: $10,000 GGMillion$ High Roller No-Limit Hold'em with 274,000 chips, advancing to Day 2 as one of the most visible WePoker patches on the live floor this Series.
The GGMillion$ High Roller is the first GGPoker-branded bracelet event ever held in Las Vegas. Day 1A on May 31 saw 194 entries reduced to 92, with Chih Fan leading on 846,500. Day 1B added another 209 entries, taking the total field to 403 with two levels of late registration still open. Foxen punched her Day 2 ticket alongside husband Alex Foxen (240,500), Joao Simao (317,000), Sam Soverel (216,000) and reigning Main Event champion Michael Mizrachi (93,500).
Why this matters
Two reasons. First, Foxen is the leading active women's-game ambassador for WePoker in 2026 and has spent the last twelve months pushing the brand into Western tournament circuit visibility. A deep run in a new GGPoker-branded $10K is the kind of cross-room moment WePoker's marketing is built to amplify. Second, the Foxen household is doubling its TV-friendly equity in the same field, with both Alex and Kristen through to Day 2 in different chip positions but in the same event.
The 2026 coaching credit
Foxen has also had a parallel coaching impact at this Series. Philip Chun, who won the record-breaking $550 Mini Mystery Millions on Day 7 for $400,000, credited Foxen and Chip Leader Coaching for settling his nerves on the final day. "I texted Kristen at 3 a.m. last night," Chun told PokerNews. "And honestly, I would not be here holding the bracelet if it wasn't for Kristen as my coach."
Bagged 274K and into Day 2. Long way to go.

The field heading into Day 2
The GGMillion$ High Roller plays Day 2 at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas today, with the event scheduled to crown a champion on June 4. Chip leader Chih Fan starts Day 2 with the only stack north of 800,000, while Phil Ivey continues his quest for a 12th bracelet on a short stack. With every $10K bracelet field this Series carrying TV-grade names, the deep run is the story for Foxen regardless of where she finishes.
What's next
Day 2 of Event 11 plays today, with Day 3 (play down to five) on June 4. We will update the Kristen Foxen profile as the chip counts come in. For more on the WePoker roster, see the PokerInfluencers Deal Tracker.
