Kristen Foxen looking to possibly final table this. No female has done this in modern poker history. I should mention history shows a lot of women make top twenty but can't seem to transition playing 6-7 seven handed.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

In 2012, two young women, Gaelle Baumann and Elisabeth Hille, finished 11th and 12th.
I had Hille at my table on Day 3. She was very aggressive and would do tons of 3-betting pre and tons of flop check raising. It was effective at running up chips but obviously very volatile as well. After that score for almost $600k, she played some 4-figure buyin events for the next 2 years without much success, then dropped down to 3-figure ones, and has basically just been there since then. Also she lives in Norway and never considered herself a poker pro.
Baumann continued to play more than Hille, and has had some moderate success, but again wasn't able to duplicate what she did in 2012.
Both of them could have had a very different trajectory with a final table appearance. Not only were they young and female, both both were pretty as well.
Kristen Foxen was the most likely female to finally do this, so I'm not that surprised she's close.
I played with Barbara Enright in an event at the Gold Coast this summer. Hadn’t played with her in 20 years. She still sarcastic as hell. Love her.In 2012, two young women, Gaelle Baumann and Elisabeth Hille, finished 11th and 12th.

I got a respiratory infection at the WSOP two weeks ago. It laid me up for 4 days. It could have been COVID. Didn’t get tested. I did get COVID 3 years ago at the series. The Horseshoe is infection central, with all those people coming from all over the world, it’s easy to catch bug you have no immunity from.So guess what, guys?
I was sitting at home tonight and I thought to myself, "You know... I really should make sure that this cold plaguing me since Day 2 is really just a cold."
So I took a COVID test and.....
I had no idea. I really thought it was a cold.
Here's the WSOP Main timeline:
Day 1 (July 5): Felt great. Probably caught it while playing. Overall a good day where I finished well above average.
Off day (July 6): Felt normal.
Day 2 (July 7): Woke up tired and with sore throat. Hoped it was from Vegas dryness and the AC blowing in my mouth while sleeping. Felt very low energy for first 4 hours or so, but somehow drinking a Naked Juice made me feel significantly better, and while my throat still hurt, I didn't otherwise feel sick. Again a good day where I finished well above average.
Off day (July 8): Sore throat vanished. Turned into nasal congestion. Totally felt like a cold. At night, I was having difficulty sleeping from congestion getting in my throat. I was also getting brief chills, but I attributed it to the AC turning on and off. I kind of felt like I might have a low grade fever, but not sure.
Day 3 (July 9): Lousy day physically. Very runny nose I had to keep blowing during event. Back issues started ramping up again (probably unrelated, as I've had this for weeks). Would not have played cash like this, but obviously I couldn't just bail out of WSOP Main. Despite feeling awful physically, I played well and bagged nearly double average stack.
Day 4 (July 10): Runny nose was peaking and I was blowing my nose every 10 minutes or so. Still felt better than the previous day, but clearly still had a cold, or so I thought. Busted on this day in the evening.
July 11: Slept a lot, did some shit around Vegas I had been putting off, and then bounced outta town. Drive was uneventful and I didn't feel terrible. But definitely still had a cold.
July 12: Got home early morning. Felt something was weird because usually my colds clear very fast after peaking, and here it peaked 48 hours prior, got a little better, but wasn't really going away. Took COVID test, clear positive which showed up after just 3 minutes!
July 13 (3am): I'm feeling low energy like Jeb Bush and starting to get muscle and joint pain. So while I probably caught it a week ago, and have had symptoms for 6 full days, it seems like it might be getting worse. But maybe I'll sleep it off and it won't get much worse.
No fever, no smell or taste issues, no stomach issues.
I did notice I was having a little trouble concentrating in the middle of Day 4, and that it was preventing me from playing my A game. I have been beating myself up about it since busting, but now I don't feel as bad, knowing I was playing with COVID since Day 2.
Imagine if I were still in it now, and having to play through COVID.
There comes a point in a serious man’s life when baseball caps, t-shirts w/ slogans and sweatpants in public are banned.
I am also of the opinion that gentlemen of a certain age should not wear players uniforms and baseball caps at a stadium either. Someone you know might see you.
Perhaps Druff wanted his table mates to dismiss him as unserious or homeless but he is a public figure
Like I said he has the Grizzly Adams look. It's not a bad look, if he won a bracelet again it could parlay into something meaningful.
She was down to nearly last place with well under 10bbs. Now sitting in 5th with 18 players remaining. Having her win this would be the first thing for poker in recent memoryIn 2012, two young women, Gaelle Baumann and Elisabeth Hille, finished 11th and 12th.

1/15 for Foxen looks like woman making final table very likely

Thats my pick for the winner
only way main event matters anymore is if after winning they immediately have to go play blackjack with dana white for 140k a hand
like im giving away the algo but that would do numbies
foxen out in 13th

Take it down!
What a punt! Then she said she was ok with the play and she was proud of herself. I hate people saying they are proud of themselves. Vomit.
Kristen “Super Punt” Foxen
And there was much rejoicing.
Nice run for a broad. The men will take it from here.
Not rejoicing. I wanted her to make the final table. But she lost a few pots then bluffed all in vs top two and got snapped off. SHE PUNTED. Then she didn’t take responsibility for the tilty bad play. WEAK.
