The final table of Event #68: $1,000 Ladies No-Limit Hold’em Championship is set!
After 48 players from a field of 1,475 entries returned for Day 3 with hopes of capturing a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet, only six remain in contention heading into the final day at Paris and Horseshoe Las Vegas.
Following Shiina Okamoto’s reign over the past two editions, a new champion will be crowned, as none of the six finalists has previously won a WSOP bracelet or even reached a live WSOP final table.
Chip leader Emily Spencer is in the best position after bagging a massive stack of 10,290,000, nearly one-third of the chips in play.
On her way to the top of the counts, Spencer eliminated Cherish Andrews in 15th place ($8,423), rivered a flush to crack pocket queens to double up, before sending the 2022 champion Jessica Teusl to the rail in ninth place ($16,666) with ace-king against ace-queen.
However, the best was yet to come when she caught Tan Lin bluffing in a massive pot to seize the chip lead during the last levels of the night.
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emily Spencer | United States | 10,290,000 | 86 |
| 2 | Skye Chen | United States | 5,450,000 | 45 |
| 3 | Lisa Teebagy | United States | 5,360,000 | 45 |
| 4 | Victoria Ailloud | France | 3,895,000 | 32 |
| 5 | Aubrey Williams | United States | 2,660,000 | 22 |
| 6 | Caitlin Comeskey | United States | 1,780,000 | 15 |
Skye Chen bagged the second-largest stack after briefly climbing to the top of the counts when the field was reduced to the final two tables, following a double elimination she scored. She climbed as high as 5,000,000 after that hand, slipped slightly during the next levels, but ultimately recovered to finish on 5,450,000 after winning a flip to eliminate Lexy Gavin-Mather in 8th place ($21,497).
Lisa Teebagy nearly bagged the exact same stack (5,360,000). She won a big pot during the day by moving all-in on the flop with top pair, and capped off her session in style by eliminating Lisa Tan in 7th place ($28,092) to secure her seat for the final day.
“I’m very tired but it’s amazing. It’s the best Ladies event in the world and I’ve always dreamed about this final table,” Victoria Ailloud said before leaving the table.
In her second visit to Las Vegas and her first deep run in Sin City, Ailloud started Day 3 the best possible way by doubling up with kings through Teebagy. She later ran her two pair into Williams’ full house, losing a large part of her stack, but rebuilt it and even doubled up with ace-king against a loose queen-nine at the final table.
Caitlin Comeskey later doubled with aces against Ailloud's queens, but the French player still managed to bag 3,895,000.
Comeskey, meanwhile, finished the day as the short stack with 1,780,000. She survived multiple times throughout the day, spiking lucky rivers at several occasions, including an ace on the river, before scoring an elimination to reach the final table.
Second to last but not least, the chip leader at the start of the day Aubrey Williams, bagged 2,660,000 for the final day. Despite a bigloss earlier in the day, her win against Ailloud put her back on tracks and kept her in contention.
Play is set to resume at 3:30 p.m. local time, with four minutes remaining at blinds of 60,000/120,000 and a 120,000 big blind ante. All six remaining players have already locked up at least $37,192, but their focus will be firmly set on the $194,630 top prize and the coveted WSOP gold bracelet.
The final table will be streamed on the WSOP channels with a two-and-a-half-hour delay.
