Two poker couples have combined for five titles in seven events at the 2026 U.S. Poker Open.
The PGT series, which runs through April 22 at PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas, has seen two couples dominate play. Alex Foxen, Kristen Foxen, Brock Wilson, and Cherish Andrews have won all but two of the seven completed events entering Monday.
Alex Foxen won the most recent event — $15,000 No-Limit Hold'em — for $210,000, giving him 13 PGT titles, tying Sam Soverel's record.
Three Wins Between One Couple
Kristen Foxen won a USPO event a couple days earlier in $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em for $198,000. The Foxens have two titles through seven events in one of the biggest high-stakes poker series of the year in Las Vegas.
But as strong as the performance has been from the Foxens, Andrews and Wilson have been even more dominant at the USPO. Wilson started the series off with a title in Event #1: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em for $120,900. Andrews then gave the couple a second win by taking down Event #3: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em for $143,750.
But, wait, there's more. Wilson, who has two additional cashes at the U.S. Poker Open, earned a second victory in Event #6: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em, defeating Nick Schulman heads-up for the $224,000 score.
The two poker couples have a combined 12 cashes through the first seven events. That's the precise definition of dominance.
