How the Foxens Built the Winner
The championship roster was powered by a monster summer from Alex Foxen, whose 441 points were the second-highest individual total of any player in the league — trailing only Japan's Naoya Kihara, who led all scorers with 510 points. Kristen Foxen chipped in 162 points, and a deep, balanced supporting cast did the rest.
| Player | Points |
|---|---|
| Alex Foxen | 441 |
| Calvin Anderson | 385 |
| Martin Zamani | 337 |
| Dylan Smith | 293 |
| Nick Palma (Bonus Player) | 173 |
| Kristen Foxen | 162 |
The Bonus Player Who Delivered
Every fantasy roster lives and dies by its draft decisions, and the Foxens' choice of Nick Palma as their bonus player proved inspired. Palma racked up 173 points across 16 cashes, the third-best haul of any bonus player in the field and a total that comfortably justified his spot on the championship team.
The victory caps another remarkable stretch for the Foxens, who have spent 2026 collecting titles and cashes at a relentless pace. Adding a fantasy-league championship — and a six-figure score to go with it — only underlines just how hot poker's first couple has been running this year.
