Seth Davies Breaks Through With First WSOP Bracelet in $250K Super High Roller

Summary:

• Seth Davies has won the $250K Super High Roller for his first-ever WSOP title and a career-best $4.75 million.
• The poker pro bested a stacked field of 63 entries and defeated Alex Foxen heads-up.
• Big names like Ben Tollerene, Bryn Kenney, and Chris Brewer fell short on the final day.

The biggest buy-in event of the 2025 World Series of Poker has wrapped, and with it, high-stakes regular Seth Davies has finally crossed a long-awaited milestone off his list. 

After several years of near-misses and big finishes, Davies captured his first WSOP bracelet in the $250,000 Super High Roller, defeating fellow American Alex Foxen in a lightning-quick heads-up finale.

$15.5M Prize Pool for Grabs

The tournament drew 63 entries, building a prize pool of over $15.5 million. Seth Davies’ first-place cash prize of $4,752,551 marks the largest cash prize in his poker career to date. Foxen also took home a hefty amount at $3,060,314 for his runner-up finish.

The win was especially meaningful for Davies, who reflected on his long-time dream of winning WSOP gold.

When we all got into poker, it’s all something that we wanted. I remember 2003, 2004 watching poker on TV and I was like, damn, it would be cool to win one of those one day.

Day 3 of the tournament was filled with tension, controversy, and brutal coolers. Martin Kabrhel kicked off the day with a heated debate over time bank chips, arguing with tournament officials including WSOP Vice President Jack Effel, but the request was ultimately denied. 

Once cards were in the air, Kabrhel narrowly survived an early scare with ace-king versus Bryn Kenney’s pocket aces thanks to a straight on the board, only to bust a few hands later.

Early Eliminations

Ben Tollerene and David Peters were both eliminated early, victims of well-timed aces from Foxen. Chris Brewer was next, falling in fifth place after running into Foxen’s full house. 

Bryn Kenney would go out in fourth after his ace-queen was no match for Davies’ pocket kings.

Thomas Boivin couldn’t shake the cooler train either and bowed out in third after his suited Broadway hand ran into Foxen’s ace. 

That set up a brief but wild heads-up match between two elite pros. In the first hand, Davies hit a jack to flip the script on Foxen’s ace-high advantage.

I was like, well, it’s probably not going to go my way today. And then that jack pops up, I was like OK! I’m in the driver’s seat now

The second hand would be the last. Foxen turned two pair, but Davies’ pocket aces held thanks to a river counterfeit, sealing his long-awaited WSOP victory and etching his name in poker history.
