The WSOP’s Battle of the Flowers and the crowning of the World Women’s Champion is one event that has been highly anticipated since its inception.
Beating last year’s record of 1074 entries, the series attracted 1295 entries and a first-place prize of $192,167, $25,192 more than last year.
Last year’s winner, defending champion Jessica Teusl, also competed in the event and made it all the way to Day 3, but finished in 33rd place.
Another Japanese player who made it to Day 3 was Mayuko Morita, who had a great run but was unfortunately unable to finish in 18th place, earning $6,492 for her efforts.
Mayuko Morita is a former professional darts player who won her first ITM on the hendonmob last October when she won a single day event on the Asian Poker Tour in South Korea. He has also performed well at the WSOP Series, so we’re looking forward to seeing where he goes from here.
Day 3 is now over, and the seven players who made it to the final table will play for the title.
Among them, Japan’s Shiina Okamoto enters Day 4 as the chip leader, and it will be interesting to see if she can bring home a Japanese bracelet once again.
If Shiina Okamoto wins this event, she will take home her first bracelet and a career-high $192,167 in prize money.
