WSOP 2026 Day 12 Recap: Normand Wins PLO Hi-Lo as Foxen Eyes Sixth Bracelet at $25K High Roller Final Table
Day 12 of the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas produced one bracelet and set up some compelling finales, with Kristen Foxen headlining a star-studded $25,000 High Roller final table and Michael Mizrachi leading a murderer’s row in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship.
Event #21: $1,500 PLO Hi-Lo 8 or Better — Winner
Frederic Normand, an experienced PLO player entering his first Hi-Lo tournament, claimed the bracelet and $235,377. Josh Arieh finished third, falling just short of a seventh bracelet.
Event #19: $25,000 High Roller — Final Six

Twenty-two players returned for Day 3 and six hours later, six remained. Galen Hall leads with 16,050,000, but all eyes are on Foxen (9,325,000), who is chasing her sixth WSOP bracelet and what would be a record-extending sixth for a female player. Ignacio Moron (7,900,000), Joey Weissman (7,200,000), Biao Ding (6,875,000), and Zdenek Zizka (4,375,000) complete the final six. All are guaranteed at least $300,942, with $1,773,083 going to the winner. The final table resumes at 3:30 p.m. on June 7, with the stream beginning at 6:00 p.m.
