Alex Foxen is officially the 2025 PokerGO Tour Player of the Year, capping a dominant campaign with his 12th career PGT title. The win came in the PGT Last Chance Event #6, a $10,100 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo that paid $232,400 for first place.

Foxen finished the season with 3,134 PGT Points, comfortably ahead of the competition.

The Quick Hit

  • Winner: Alex Foxen
  • Final points: 3,134
  • Clinching event: PGT Last Chance Event #6 ($10K NLH Turbo)
  • Prize: $232,400
  • Career PGT titles: 12

The PokerGO Tour tracks results from all major high-stakes tournament series throughout the year, including the Super High Roller Bowl, PGT events, and select festivals. Winning Player of the Year requires consistency across dozens of events—Foxen delivered exactly that.

Final Standings

Here's how the top five finished:

  1. Alex Foxen — 3,134 points
  2. Sam Soverel — 2,979 points
  3. Chino Rheem — 2,803 points
  4. Michael Mizrachi — 2,286 points
  5. Joao Simao — 2,272 points

Soverel made a late push but came up 155 points short. Rheem had another strong year, adding to his reputation as one of poker's most consistent high-stakes players. Mizrachi—the former WSOP Player of the Year—proved he still belongs at the top tables.

Foxen's Season Highlights

Foxen didn't just win on volume—he won big. His 12th PGT title wasn't a fluke; it was the culmination of a year spent crushing the highest stakes in poker. The $232,400 payday in the Last Chance event was far from his biggest score of the year, but it was the one that sealed the deal.

Throughout 2025, Foxen final tabled multiple Super High Roller Bowl events, cashed in virtually every major series he entered, and proved why he's considered one of the best tournament players in the world.

Dream Seat Winners

The PGT Last Chance events also awarded Dream Seats—entries into major future tournaments. This year's Dream Seat winners include:

  • David "ODB" Baker
  • Neil Warren
  • Clemen Deng
  • Chi-Jen Chu
  • Jeremy Becker

These satellites give recreational players and mid-stakes grinders a shot at playing with the pros. It's one of the better things the PGT does—keeping the high-stakes ecosystem from becoming completely closed off.

What's Next

The 2026 PokerGO Tour season is already underway, with the Venetian DeepStack Showdown running through February 8. Points will accumulate throughout the year, and Foxen will have a target on his back as the defending POY.

Whether he can repeat depends on a combination of run-good and skill. But if anyone can do it, it's Foxen. The guy just keeps winning.

The Bottom Line

Alex Foxen closed out 2025 the right way—with another title and the Player of the Year crown. His 12 career PGT titles put him among the elite, and his consistency across all stakes makes him one of the most feared names in tournament poker. Congratulations to Foxen, and good luck to everyone chasing him in 2026.
