The record-setting 2023 World Series of Poker Ladies No-Limit Hold'em Championship reached its "TV final table" of seven players on Saturday evening at the Horseshoe Las Vegas, with Japan's Shiina Okamoto holding a commanding chip lead when the players return on Sunday.
Okamoto (shown above) finished Day 3 with 11,670,000 in chips, nearly half of the total chips in play. Her closest competitor, when action resumes at 2:00 pm PT on Sunday, is American Tara Cain with 4,750,000. Mary Dvorkin, who started Day 3 with the lead, remains in the hunt in third.
The chip stacks of the seven remaining Ladies competitors are as follows:
- Shiina Okamoto - 11,670,000
- Tara Cain - 4,750,000
- Mary Dvorkin - 2,650,000
- Tamar Abraham - 2,370,000
- Suzanne Malavet - 2,100,000
- Chrysi Phiniotis - 1,180,000
- Nam Nguyen - 630,000
Jennifer Wu (eighth, $20,160) and Kristie Ogilvie (ninth, $15,662) were credited with making the official nine-player final table but busted before Sunday's live-streamed finale was set.
