Foxen Shows Winner

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Alex Foxen got it started with a limp from middle position. Lautaro Guerra followed with a limp from the hijack before Jason Koon also limped in on the button. Phillipp Mellon came in from the small blind before Gergo Nagy checked his option out of the big blind.

The 5103 flop led to a check from Mellon and Nagy before Foxen bet 9,000. Guerra and Koon both called, while Mellon and Nagy got out of there.

All three remaining players checked the K turn and the J river.

Foxen showed QJ105 for two pair, which was good enough as both Guerra and Koon mucked their hands in response.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is set to usher in a new era for its winter flagship, WSOP Paradise, after confirming the festival will move from Atlantis Paradise Island to the luxury Baha Mar resort, also in the Bahamas.

The 2026 edition, slated to run from Tuesday, December 1 to Friday, December 18, will shuffle up and deal in a new home roughly six miles up the Bahamian coast from where Austria’s Bernhard Binder announced himself to the wider poker world, capturing the record-breaking 2025 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event just a few months ago.

In an announcement on social media platform X, the WSOP wrote, "The next chapter of WSOP Paradise is coming... Bigger. Better. Unmissable. This December, the world's fastest-growing poker event arrives at the stunning Baha Mar."
