Not Foxen Around
Foxen started the month off with a victory in Event #7: $15,100 Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2025 PokerGO Tour (PGT) PLO Series for $315,000. Just a few weeks later, the high-stakes pro and former Boston College athlete took down the seventh event of another series, $15,100 No-Limit Hold'em at the 2025 US Poker Open, for $340,200 and his second PGT trophy of the month.
Alex wasn't the only Foxen to win a trophy at the series. The Event #1: $5,100 No-Limit Hold'em title and $158,025 went to his wife, Kristen Foxen, a five-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner who last year was inducted into the Women in Poker Hall of Fame.
Foxen's two victories in April only tell part of the story. The former college footballer also finished runner-up in the PGT PLO Series Event #11 $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha - Bounty for $41,610 just days after finishing third in the $15,000 buy-in Event #9 for $143,775.
Not ten days later, Foxen finished fifth in the US Poker Open Event #6 $15,000 NLH for $102,900.

- The core of Rummy Go strategy is effectively creating melds and sets. Players should put an emphasis on arranging their hands so that possible melds can be quickly identified in order to accomplish this. It can be easier to identify opportunities as they present themselves and expedite this process by organizing cards according to rank or suit. 25-05-31
- One of the most underappreciated aspects of Rummy Go is watching your opponents' moves, which can reveal important information about their plans and strategies. You can learn more about their hand composition and possible melds they are attempting to form by observing the cards they draw and discard. With this information at your disposal, you can decide which cards to keep & which to throw away. Also, monitoring the cards that your opponents have discarded can help you predict their next moves. An opponent may be having difficulties with their hand if you observe that they have discarded a number of high-value cards without creating any melds. 25-05-31

- A crucial component of Rummy Go that has a big impact on the result of the game is discarding. Knowing which cards to keep & which to discard is essential to efficient discarding. The best strategy is to discard cards that are unlikely to aid in meld formation while also taking your opponents' potential needs into account. Holding onto a card that might potentially complete an opponent's set or sequence, for instance, might be prudent until you can assess whether it presents a threat. 25-05-31

- Knowledge of the scoring system is also essential. Players in Rummy Go receive points for successfully melding cards, while unmelded cards result in penalties. Since face cards are worth more points, it's critical to play with good hand management. Knowing these guidelines improves your gameplay & enables you to predict the moves of your opponents. You can make well-informed decisions that have a big influence on the game's outcome by understanding what makes a valid meld and how scoring works. Success in Rummy Go is largely dependent on having a winning mentality. 25-05-31

- When you play with jokers, think about how you can use them to disrupt your opponents' strategies in addition to completing your own melds. A good defensive tactic would be to use a joker to block an opponent's possible meld if you see they are about to finish a set or sequence. It may also become more difficult to form valid combinations if multiple players are holding jokers, so keep an eye on how many jokers are in play. You can improve your chances of winning and obtain an advantage over your rivals by strategically using jokers. 25-05-31
