Shiina Okamoto is 3rd in chips with 33 left (1368 starters). Recent eliminations include Barbara Enright (34th) and Farah Galfond (39th).
Other notable players still in the field are J.J. Liu (8th) and Robbi Jade Lew (31st).
Quite an impressive 3 year run for Okamoto (2nd, 1st and ?)

She can clearly play well, no doubt about that. Anyone know how old she is?
Dont know her age. 32?
She is currently the chip leader at the final table.
That's really amazing. These are fairly big fields.Originally Posted by Dive_Bar_Dave
Like I said about The Grinder at the PPC in the other thread, she must have a style which works really well against the typical ladies event opponent (including the good players).
Interestingly, while she's done decently in Asian tournaments, she has apparently struggled at non-Ladies events at the WSOP since she started playing in 2021. Maybe it's variance, or maybe her style doesn't work well against general field WSOP opponents.

Okamato was fun to watch. A class act all the way. She is big time now--Hellmuth came over to congratulate her.
