Some people are natural winners. They can seemingly turn their hand to any sport or game and dominate proceedings. Alex Foxen<\/strong><\/a> is one of those lucky people.<\/p>\n

Foxen is a naturally competitive person. He starred for the Boston College Eagles American football team where he won honours as a tight end \/ defensive tackle, and represented his school\u2019s ice hockey and lacrosse teams. Now he\u2019s one of poker\u2019s elite grinders, one with more than $16.8 million in live winnings and more than $6 million online. Oh, and he\u2019s the reigning Global Poker Index Player of the Year!<\/p>\n

On June 23, Foxen added to his already glowing reputation by securing two High Roller Club titles. It\u2019s the Fox(en) that does the hunting these days.<\/p>\n

High Roller Club: Man Event – $250K Gtd<\/h2>\n

Foxen\u2019s first victory came in the $5,200 buy-in Main Event<\/strong>, a tournament that drew in a crowd of 49 entrants. Only seven of those walked away with a share of the $250,000 prize pool and it was Foxen who banked the largest prize.<\/p>\n

Pascal Lefrancois<\/strong>, a regular in the High Roller Club events, reached the final table but fell in eighth-place to burst the money bubble. The Canadian\u2019s demise locked up at least $10,625 for the surviving players.<\/p>\n

Zachary Clark<\/strong> netted this sum before Juan Pardo<\/strong> and Jans Arends<\/strong> busted and walked away with $12,500 and $16,250 respectively.<\/p>\n

Another Canadian, Mark Radoja<\/strong>, then fell by the wayside. Radoja\u2019s impressive run earning him a $24,375 prize. Recent big winner Tuen Mulder<\/strong><\/a> came close to another major victory but ultimately had to make do with a third-place finish worth $38,125. The Dutch star\u2019s exit left Foxen heads-up against Finland\u2019s Eelis Parssinen<\/strong> for the title.<\/p>\n

The one-on-one battle was impressive \u2013 you can watch the video on our Twitch channel<\/a> \u2013 and ended with the following hand. Foxen limped on the button with , Parssinen raised to 2,450,000 with . Foxen responded with an all-in jam of 24,500,000 and Parssinen called off his remaining 16 million and change. A board saw Foxen\u2019s kicker come into play, game over for Parssinen.<\/p>\n

This latest victory added $88,750 to the Foxen coffers. No doubt he\u2019ll be taking down more High Roller Club tournaments before the series is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

High Roller Club: 6-Max Knockout – $50K Gtd<\/h2>\n

Victory number two came in the $1,050 6-Max Knockout<\/strong>, a tournament with 45 entrants and a $50,000 prize pool. Foxen locked up the $8,225 top prize and increases his payout with $8,898 worth of bounty payments. Part of that chunky bounty was formerly on the head of Corne Scheel<\/strong>, the man who finished in second-place.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Foxen\u2019s girlfriend and member of Team partypoker Kristen Bicknell<\/strong> burst the final table and money bubble. Bicknell didn\u2019t go home empty-handed, however, because she helped herself to $875 from the bounty prize pool.<\/p>\n

Wietse Hasper<\/strong> was the first player to cash at the final table. British star Tyler Goatcher<\/strong> and high roller specialist Ali Imsirovic were the next players eliminated. Dutchman Maximilian Diender<\/strong> fell in third-place to leave Foxen and Scheel heads-up and Foxen exacted revenge for Bicknell\u2019s bubble finish by getting the job done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
