David Coleman wins 2026 US Poker Open in dramatic $25K finale
The 2026 US Poker Open concluded with a high-stakes showdown in the $25,200 No-Limit Hold’em finale. David Coleman took first place, securing his first PokerGO Tour title of the year. Kristen Foxen finished as runner-up, earning $264,000 after a tense heads-up battle. The final hand began with Foxen betting 165,000 into a pot of 330,000. Coleman responded by raising to 575,000, putting pressure on his opponent. Instead of folding, Foxen re-raised aggressively to 1.2 million.
Facing the large bet, Coleman opted to fold, handing Foxen the chips. Despite this bold move, Foxen ultimately fell short of the title, while Coleman claimed victory and a $420,000 prize. This win also cemented Coleman’s position in the series standings. Meanwhile, Brock Wilson—who had previously won the PokerGO Cup last month—secured the overall 2026 US Poker Open series title.
Coleman’s victory marks his first PokerGO Tour title this year. Foxen’s second-place finish adds another deep run to her career, though she missed out on the top prize. The event wrapped up a competitive series, with Wilson taking the overall championship.
