Galen Hall Leads $25,000 High Roller Final Table as Kristen Foxen Chases Her Sixth WSOP Bracelet
Already the most decorated woman in WSOP history with five gold bracelets, Kristen Foxen has an opportunity to add another bracelet to her record as she returns among the final six players in Event #19: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em.
Having outlasted a field of 345 entries that generated a $5,804,500 prize pool, Foxen and her remaining opponents are now just a few eliminations away from the top prize of $1,773,083 and the coveted WSOP gold bracelet.
However, a tough road still lies ahead for Foxen, starting with the current chip leader Galen Hall, who finished Day 3 with a commanding 16,050,000 chips, nearly one-third of the chips in play. Hall is pursuing his second WSOP bracelet, having claimed his first in Event #62: $888 Crazy Eights No-Limit Hold’em during the 2018 WSOP.
$25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em final table
| Seat | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Biao Ding | China | 6,875,000 | 23 |
| 2 | Ignacio Moron | Spain | 7,900,000 | 26 |
| 3 | Kristen Foxen | Canada | 9,325,000 | 31 |
| 4 | Galen Hall | United States | 16,050,000 | 54 |
| 5 | Zdenek Zizka | Czechia | 4,375,000 | 15 |
| 6 | Joey Weissman | United States | 7,200,000 | 24 |
Alongside Hall sits Foxen, who enters the final day second in chips with 9,325,000 after spending much of Day 3 among the chip leaders.
The middle of the pack behind remains extremely tight, with Ignacio Moron (7,900,000), Joey Weissman (7,200,000), and Biao Ding (6,875,000) separated by less than three big blinds. While Weissman is looking to add a second bracelet to his résumé, both Moron and Ding are still chasing their first WSOP titles.
Moron has come close on several occasions, most notably with a fifth-place finish in the Millionaire Maker in 2021. He also made another deep run in the same event last year before bowing out in 14th place.
Ding has been even closer to capturing WSOP gold. In 2025, he recorded fourth-place finishes in both the $50,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller and the WSOP Paradise $10,400 Pot-Limit Omaha event. Earlier this summer, he also was three heads-ups away from success in the $25,000 Heads-Up Championship, eventually falling to eventual champion Dimitar Danchev.
Zdenek Zizka should not be overlooked either. Although he returns with the shortest stack of the six finalists at 4,375,000 (15 big blinds), the Czech knows what it takes to close out a WSOP event, having captured his first bracelet in a $1,000 event last summer.
