The live streams from the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas have already offered up numerous highlights, and Thursday’s WPT Ladies Cash Game should certainly continue that trend.

The $25/$50 No Limit Hold’em game, which kicks off at 4 p.m. on all of the WPT’s live streaming platforms, will include:

• Kristen Foxen, who has $6.7 million in live tournament cashes to her credit. Her career-best result is a $25,000 Poker Masters win in 2019, and Foxen is also a two-time WSOP bracelet winner.
• Xuan Liu, who has over $2.2 million in lifetime live tournament earnings. That includes a 4th place finish in the 2012 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, 3rd in the 2011 EPT San Remo Main Event and a $2,500 side event title at the 2017 WPT Fallsview Poker Classic festival. Liu has played in a variety of high-stakes cash games, including appearances on Hustler Casino Live, Poker at The Lodge, and Live at the Bike, among others.
