Alex Foxing Looking to Vault into POY Lead as 12 Return for Final Day of $10,000 8-Game Championship
It's already been an amazing 2026 World Series of Poker for Alex Foxen. Five final tables, including one outright victory, have secured him a second spot on the annual Player of the Year leaderboard. Today, Foxen continues his stellar summer as he is one of 12 players returning to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas at 1 p.m. local time for Day 3 of Event #80: $10,000 8-Game Mixed Championship.
Having made it to the final two tables of the record-breaking 199-entry tournament, guaranteeing him a share of the $1,850,700 prize pool, Foxen has already virtually overtaken current POY frontrunner Shaun Deeb on the leaderboard. Were he to finish today with a victory and add a second bracelet and a monster score of $431,260 to his series tally, Foxen would leapfrog Deeb by nearly 700 points.
Foxen, who is making one of his first forays into the mixed-game streets, will face some stiff competition on the final day, however. While his stack of 1,955,000 nets him a comfortable second place on the leaderboard, the chipleader at the start of the day is none other than Hall of Famer and seven-time bracelet winner Brian Rast. Rast, whose WSOP trophies include three PPC titles, amassed 2,465,000 on Day 2, more than twice as much as Richard Bai, who rounds out the podium with 1,120,000.

Dzmitry Urbanovich, whose online moniker "Colisea" strikes fear in the heart of mixed-game players around the globe, is the last player to unbag a seven-figure stack today, hunting his first WSOP bracelet after two previous runner-up finishes. Taylor Atchison continues his quest for his second bracelet of the summer in the middle of the pack, while all-time money leader Bryn Kenney is also still in contention. Meanwhile, mixed-game regulars Maksim Pisarenko, Ryan Miller, and David "ODB" Baker make up the rearguard of the field.
Day 3 will start with Level 21. The blinds for pot-limit Omaha and no-limit hold'em will be 10,000/20,000, while the limits for the fixed-limit games will be 40,000/80,000. A marathon day may be in the cards for those who run deep, as all levels will be 90 minutes long, with a break after each level, and play will not conclude until an 8-Game Champion has been crowned.
Each player has guaranteed themself a payout of $27,080 for making it this far, although a pay jump to $32,710 is right around the corner. Six-figure rewards await the top four, while the winner is set to walk away with $431,260.

Brian Rast raised in the hijack. Taylor Atchison was next to act in the cutoff and three-bet. Rast called before he check-called Atchison's continuation-bet on the 5♦2♣8♦ flop.
The 4♥ turn prompted Rast to lead out with a bet. Atchison spent some time in the tank, then folded his hand to give up on the pot.

Bai turned over A♦10♠8♦2♦ for a straight, and Rast mucked.

Richard Bai raised in the hijack. Taylor Atchison defended his big blind after some thought and went on to check-call Bai's bets on the K♠A♦Q♠ flop and 5♣ turn.
The 2♣ river then prompted Atchison to lead out. Bai spent some minutes in the tank before he called, but he could not beat Atchison's 6♠6♥5♥5♦ for a set and mucked his cards in defeat.

Richard Bai: XxXx/7xJxJx - folded on fifth street
The players at the other table complained that this table was just beginning the Razz round, while they were already six hands into it. "Can you guys play faster, please?" Maksim Pisarenko called out.
Richard Bai then completed and David Baker raised. Bai called that bet and another on fourth. Baker bet again on fifth, and Bai folded.
