Daniel Blum raised in the cutoff and Anderson Ireland called on the button. "I'm going to verbalize my action. Fold," Mike Thorpe said as he gave up the small blind. Martin Zamani, meanwhile, also called in the big blind.

"I'm such a clown," Thorpe added.

"That is true," Ireland replied.

Zamani drew three, while Blum and Ireland took two. Blum then bet, and both opponents called.

Zamani and Blum drew one and Ireland two. Blum bet again, and only Ireland called this time.

Blum stood pat and Ireland drew one. Both players checked, and Blum showed 9x7x6x3x2x to win the pot.

Level 12 : Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Blinds: 3,000-5,000
Limits: 5,000-10,000

The 2026 WSOP Ladies Championship gets underway at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas today, and that means the entire poker world is asking one question: Can Shiina Okamoto do it again?

It's a question that should feel absurd. In an event once again expected to draw more than 1,000 entrants, the idea that one player could emerge from the riffled din of tournament poker year after year defies logic.

Yet not when it's the WSOP Ladies Championship. And not when it's Okamoto.

2nd. 1st. 1st. That's how the form book reads. Think Secretariat, then make the field 1,200 strong.

Both players drew one card on the final draw and checked it down. Juanda showed 2x2x6x4x3x and Yu mucked.
