Kristen Foxen and Jeanne David are the 2024 WPHoF inductees
The Women in Poker Hall of Fame (WiPHoF) has announced its newest inductees for the Class of 2024, welcoming professional player Kristen Foxen and industry advocate Jeanne David. Both women, known for their significant contributions to the poker community, will be honored at an induction ceremony on December 11 at the Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
Foxen, a Canadian-born poker pro, has amassed over $8 million in career earnings, a track record that places her among the top female players globally. Her accomplishments include five World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, the most for any woman in poker history, with her latest win this October adding to a remarkable year.
Foxen’s poker career spans nearly two decades, highlighted by appearances in major tournaments on the World Poker Tour and the European Poker Tour. Foxen’s first WSOP bracelet came in the Women’s Event in 2013, and she has continued to excel with further victories in both live and online events.
David, widely recognized in the poker community, has long been a champion for player welfare. Based in Las Vegas, she holds a Master’s degree in Social Work with a focus on addiction, which she applied as Responsible Gaming Manager at PokerStars.
David’s efforts have helped promote responsible gaming practices, and her advocacy played a key role in the regulation of online poker in several states, including New Jersey and Michigan. David also serves on the Player Advisory Board of PokerOrg, furthering her influence in guiding the industry’s development.
In addition, the Hall of Fame will recognize Starla Brodie as the first-ever Pioneer Inductee, acknowledging her groundbreaking achievements in the game. Honored as the first Pioneer Inductee, she was a trailblazer in competitive poker.
Brodie made history by teaming up with Doyle Brunson to win the Mixed Doubles event at the WSOP in 1979, becoming the first woman to win an open-field event. The Pioneer Induction category was created to recognize early female poker players who broke barriers and paved the way for others.
