The $15,100 No-Limit Hold’em event drew 81 entries, generating a massive prize pool of $1,215,000, which was split among the top 12 finishers. In the end, it was William Alex Foxen who emerged victorious, defeating Neil Warren heads-up for the title.
USPO 2025 Event #7: $15,100 No-Limit Hold’em Final Table Recap
Foxen led the final table with over 2.7 million chips, followed closely by rising star David Coleman with nearly 2.4 million. Meanwhile, Cherish Andrews and Neil Warren entered the final table as the short stacks.
Neil Warren managed an early double-up to stay alive, but Cherish Andrews was the first to be eliminated. The two-time GPI Female Player of the Year exited in 7th place when her ace-king suited lost in a three-way all-in against John Riordan and Nick Seward. Andrews took home $48,600 for her finish.
David Coleman, who started as second in chips, was next to fall. He checked the flop and the turn with both straight and flush draws, only to run into Foxen’s set of kings. The river didn’t improve Coleman’s hand, and he was eliminated in 6th place for $60,750.
Foxen continued his momentum, knocking out Justin Zaki in 5th place ($85,050) and Nick Seward in 4th ($115,425), setting up the three-handed battle.
Warren, who entered the final table as the second-shortest stack, managed to climb back by eliminating John Riordan in 3rd place for $157,950. That knockout gave Warren a five-to-one chip lead going into heads-up play against Foxen.
Heads-Up Battle
Despite entering heads-up play with only eight big blinds, Foxen, fresh off a win at the 2024 WSOP Paradise Triton Main Event, mounted an impressive comeback. He won a significant pot early on, shifting the momentum in his favor.
After nearly an hour of back-and-forth action, the final hand saw Foxen move all-in with J♣-9♦, and Warren snap-called with A♠-10♣. The board ran out 9♣-5♥-7♣-8♠-Q♠, giving Foxen a pair of nines to seal the victory.
Neil Warren earned $218,700 for his runner-up finish, while Alex Foxen claimed his ninth PGT title and a $340,200 payday.
