Event #70: $1,000 Ladies Championship
Day 4 Started
The Final Day of Event #70: $1,000 Ladies Championship takes place today at the Paris and Horseshoe Las Vegas. Cards will be in the air at 4 p.m., but coverage will start here at 5 p.m. in line with the PokerGO Stream, which will be on an hour delay.
Just seven players are set to return to the final table, including defending champion Shiina Okamoto, who sits at the top of the counts going into the final day. Okamoto has already etched her name in the record books, reaching the final table for an unprecedented third consecutive year. She was defeated by Tamar Abraham in 2023, but battled heads-up with Jamie Kerstetter last year and took the crown in the 2024 WSOP Ladies championship.

Returning second in chips is Juliet Hegedus. Hegedus kept a close eye on the clock late in the day yesterday, during the final two tables, as she was determined to improve on her score from last year, having successfully cashed in 12th place. She was sitting high in the counts for most of Day 3 and easily smashed her record, making it comfortably to the official final table. She returns with a solid 70 big blinds today, also putting her in strong contention for the crown.
Sumire Uenomachi returns to the day with the shortest stack at the table. She will be looking to make an early spin and ladder up, as each payout now has a significant jump. Currently, all players have locked up $26,131 but will all have their eyes on the top $184,094 payout and a WSOP gold bracelet.
