ACR Poker has signed high-stakes tournament star Alex Foxen to its pro roster, PokerOrg has learned.
A source close to ACR Poker confirmed the deal to PokerOrg, although the site has yet to formally announce Foxen’s signing.
ACR Poker CEO Phil Nagy teased the signing earlier this week, sharing an image on X showing Foxen at the Triton Poker Tour stop in Montenegro wearing a hand-drawn ACR Poker logo on his T-shirt.
In a subsequent post, Nagy wrote: "Seeing that picture of Foxen with ACR on his shirt really hits home. That’s who we are. We get things done, even if we’re not always the prettiest or the most polished. We’ve been here for 25 years, and we’re going to be here for another 20."
A major addition for ACR
ACR Poker’s Team Pro roster has included names such as Chris Moneymaker, Chris Moorman, and Tom Dwan.
Foxen, however, is a major addition for the site. Notably, it's the first time he has signed as an ambassador to promote a major poker operator. Foxen currently represents Chance Kornuth's Chip Leader Coaching but as an instructor rather than an advocate.
As one of the most dominant players in tournament poker, Foxen reaches final tables and makes deep runs at a consistent clip.
He currently sits inside the top 10 on poker’s all-time money list, and the former college football star also regularly competes online on ACR Poker. Earlier this month, he reached the final table of one of the site's flagship Venom tournaments.
Foxen, playing under the screen name 'OutFoxenYou' finished in fifth place out of a field of 871 entrants in the Venom PLO Mystery Bounty, taking home $54,489 in placement money and $35,000 in bounties.
