Kristen Foxen just made poker history by FOLDING POCKET KINGS (the 2nd best starting hand in poker) before the flop… Let’s talk about it!

Kristen Foxen is one of the absolute best poker players in the world. She has been a regular in the high stakes poker tournament circuit for years now and is known to get in there & battle with some of the most elite poker professionals alive today.

During the 2026 $100,000 buy-in Triton Poker Main Event that took place on Jeju Island, Kristen found herself as the 2nd shortest stack on the final table, when she looks down at pocket kings! However, things aren’t as simple as they seem after the first player to act (under the gun, and the shortest stack at the table) goes all-in for 8 big blinds. Then, the next player to act, Elton Tsang, calls the all-in, before Philip Sternheimer shoves his 25bb stack over the top.

This is one of the toughest spots to find yourself in at the poker table – fortunately for you, pokercoaching founder & poker coach of 20 years experience Jonathan Little analyzes this difficult spot & breaks the action down into digestible points, so that you can avoid disaster in your games!

In this video, you will learn about ICM (Independent Chip Model), how to adjust on the final table as a short stack, what your all-in range should be on a final table facing previous action, and what you should do at various stack depths from different positions at the poker table.
