On-Camera Highlights and Broadcast Details
Foxen received recurring screen time as he navigated the early stages, with his Americas Cardroom Pro patch visible throughout the broadcast. One highlighted sequence showed him facing an all-in confrontation with Vinh Nguyen. After reviewing the board and weighing Nguyen’s table talk, Foxen made the call and secured the pot.

Moneymaker’s 2003 Main Event title remains a landmark result in televised poker, and his presence connected the brand to an earlier period of the sport’s broadcast history.ESPN’s multi-year partnership with the WSOP provides over 100 hours of programming, including additional Main Event episodes and three nights of live final table coverage. The remaining Main Event broadcasts are scheduled for ESPN2, with the final table airing live from August 3 to 5 across ESPN and ESPN2.
