Six years ago, Yosef Fox watched from the rail as his son Jorden Fox won a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet. The roles reversed on Wednesday as Jorden watched his dad win a bracelet of his own by taking down Event #11: $10,000 Mystery Bounty at the 2025 WSOP for $729,333. With the victory, the two became one of just a handful of parent-child duos to win bracelets, with the most notable example being Poker Hall of Famers Doyle Brunson and Todd Brunson.

The latest World Poker Tour (WPT) champion was crowned last week in Las Vegas as Nebraska's Mike Vanier took down the WPT Choctaw Championship for $338,000, just two years after finished third in this same event. The $3,500 event drew 586 runners for a prize pool of $2,051,000 that squeaked past the $2 million guarantee. The first three days of the event played out at Choctaw Casino in Durant, Oklahoma. Action then paused before picking back up at the Esports Arena Las Vegas at Luxor.
