She followed it up in <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/poker-news\/shiina-okamoto-from-japan-wins-2024-wsop-ladies-event\/\">2024<\/a> by taking home the bracelet. Fast forward to 2025, and not only did she defend her title, but she also did it with confidence and control from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p>She now owns two WSOP bracelets and has quietly moved her total tournament winnings to over $877,000, with the majority coming from her deep runs in this very event.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Final Table Played Out<\/h2>\n<p>The final table saw a lot of action, but Okamoto stayed steady. She got off to a great start by knocking out fellow Japanese player Sumire Uenomachi. A little later, she won a big pot against Sonia Shashikhina that helped her regain control. From there, she picked off Juliet Hegedus and Julie Huynh, built her stack even higher, and held a big chip lead by the time only three players remained.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Mirax Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mirax-Casino.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Mirax Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mirax Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

She managed one short-lived double-up, but eventually ran into Okamoto\u2019s pocket nines, which held firm to seal the win.<\/p>\n<h2>A Dominant Streak<\/h2>\n<p>Across three years, Okamoto has cashed in the Ladies Championship every time, beating fields of 1,295, 1,245, and now 1,368 players. Her latest win paid $184,094, her biggest score yet. While most players dream of just one WSOP bracelet, Okamoto has now taken two from the same event\u2014and almost grabbed a third.<\/p>\n<p>The only question left now is whether anyone can stop her if she shows up again next year.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Table Results Event #70: $1,000 Ladies Championship<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Shiina Okamoto \u2013 $184,094<\/li>\n<li>Heather Alcorn \u2013 $122,654<\/li>\n<li>Stephani Hagberg \u2013 $87,695<\/li>\n<li>Julie Huynh \u2013 $63,517<\/li>\n<li>Sonia-Veronika Shashikhina \u2013 $46,614<\/li>\n<li>Juliet Hegedus \u2013 $34,667<\/li>\n<li>Sumire Uenomachi \u2013 $26,131<\/li>\n<li>Tanith Rothman \u2013 $19,969<\/li>\n<li>Elisa Nakagawa \u2013 $15,472<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/poker-news\/shiina-okamoto-goes-back-to-back-at-wsop-ladies-event\/\">Shiina Okamoto Goes Back to Back at WSOP Ladies Event<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/\">iGaming.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A poker player I once knew said, \u201cWinning one time can be luck.
