The WSOP has moved two of the final three tables to the streamed featured tables area, which means our live reporting will have to be delayed by around 2.5 hours to match the live stream, per the WSOP media guidelines. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Heads-up on a board of 2♦J♠4♦3♣ with roughly 400,000 in the pot, Marie Benedetto bet 150,000 but Lexy Gavin-Mather to her left raised to 400,000.
Benedetto went deep into the tank but chose to fold.
Shannon Fahey opened to 60,000 in early position and when action folded to the big blind, Skye Chen reraised to 160,000. Fahey responded with an all-in shove for 1,330,000 and Chen snap-called.
Shannon Fahey: A♣K♠ 
Skye Chen: A♦K♣
Both players smiled when the cards were tabled then started chatting about why Chen tanked and how Fahey would have done the same thing if she was in Chen's position. The whole table was in conversation when the dealer quietly ran the K♦7♥Q♥2♥9♠ board.
Fahey commented, "See none of us have a heart." The players pulled back their chips as the dealer chopped the blinds in the pot.
Lisa Tan opened to 60,000 from the cutoff, and Honglian Ye called on the button. Sheila Masterson was in the big blind and moved all in for her last 285,000. Tan rejammed for 610,000. Ye checked her hand, but decided to get out of the way and mucked.
Sheila Masterson: Q♦J♥
Lisa Tan: K♦8♦
Masterson missed on the 9♠9♣7♣ flop, and the K♣ turn saw Tan get further ahead, but there were still a few straight outs for Masterson.
As the 8♠ river fell, Masterson left the table, having been eliminated just after the first break of the day. After the hand, the players were talking, with Masterson asking Ye, "You had me beat right?"
Ye responded, "I had you both beat." She continued to talk to Tan and said, "I called on the button because I was trapping you."
Tan took some time to cool down after the hand and remarked, "That's a lot of chips..." as she counted out her new stack.
Cherish Andrews opened from middle position but Eliana Shapovalov on the button three-bet to 210,000. Andrews four-bet all-in for 595,000 and Shapovalov went deep into the tank.
After a long moment, Shapovalov eventually folded.
Caitlin Comeskey opened to 60,000 from middle position and Michelle Dimaunahan moved all in from the big blind for her newly doubled 245,000. Comeskey called and the pair flipped their hands.
Michelle Dimaunahan: K♥5♥
Caitlin Comeskey: Q♠10♠
Dimaunahan held on the 9♣4♠J♣ flop, but there was a real sweat for Comeskey as she picked up the open-ended straight draw.
The 2♦ turn did nothing to change the standings, and the 9♥ river locked up another double for Dimaunahan.
Michelle Dimaunahan in early position jammed for 100,000. Kimura Nao in the cutoff raised and made the button and the blinds fold.
Michelle Dimaunahan: A♦5♠
Kimura Nao: A♣10♣
Nao was already in the lead and flopped a flush draw on 8♠6♣3♣. Dimaunahan thought she was going to be eliminated, but the 4♦2♠ runout gave her a runner-runner straight to allow her to double up.

There are 100 bracelet-awarding events on the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) schedule, but every poker player dreams of becoming the champion of just one of those tournaments: the $10,000 WSOP Main Event. Unfortunately for some, the $10,000 buy-in puts the 2026 WSOP Main Event out of reach, which is where satellites come into their own.
In 2003, the aptly-named Chris Moneymaker, then an accountant from Atlanta, Georgia, won a $10,000 WSOP Main Event seat via an $86 buy-in satellite online at PokerStars. Moneymaker outlasted 838 opponents, including defeating seasoned pro Sammy Farha heads-up, to win the WSOP Main Event and kickstart the phenomenon that would be called the Moneymaker Effect.
Fast forward to today, and hundreds, if not thousands, of players will head to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas hoping to win their way into the 2026 WSOP Main Event for a fraction of the $10,000 asking price. The 2026 WSOP Main Event satellites run from July 1-7 and come in buy-ins of $150, $260, $585, $1,100, and $2,200.
