Alex Foxen leads Day 1A of WSOP Europe Main Event

US pro Alex Foxen was the best on the tables yesterday, ending the day with a hefty 537,200 chips, which is way above the average stack of around 171k. Anton Morgenstern is second in chips with 460,000 while Ukraine’s Oleh Okhotskyi rounds up the top three with a stack of 433,900.

With a busy schedule home in India including the recently concluded Baazi Poker Tour (BPT) and World Poker Tour (WPT) in Goa, the number of Indian players in Kings Casino took a big hit for 2019. We didn’t see any Indians in the first flight of the Main Event, but we hope for a few to participate on Day 1B today.

Other notable players int he field yesterday were 4-time bracelet winner Shaun Deeb who is currently among the top ten stacks with 343,300 chips, Julien Martini (220,000), Anthony Zinno (204,000), Phil Hui (200,200), Davidi Kitai (170,800), Ana Marquez (103,300) and 2013 WSOP Europe champion Adrian Mateos (45,300).
