WSOP Late Wire: Ladies Championship at 26, Satellites Grinding Past Midnight

Four WSOP events are running past midnight at the Horseshoe, and the biggest stacks belong to players with something to prove.

Ladies Championship Down to 26

Event #68, the $1,000 Ladies No-Limit Hold'em Championship, reached 26 players on Day 3. Aubrey Williams holds the chip lead at 2,740,000 — she has two WSOP Circuit rings, 28 career final tables, and $213K in lifetime earnings. Angela Jordison sits second with 1,400,000 chips, bringing her own two Circuit rings and $1.27 million in career cashes to the table across 23 final tables. France's Victoria Ailloud (1,430,000) and Caitlin Comeskey (1,165,000, $98K lifetime) round out the top four. Lisa Teebagy, who has three career final tables and $50K in earnings, sits fifth at 755,000.

Landmark Mega Satellites Grinding Down

Two Landmark Mega Satellites are still in play. The $130 Mystery Millions Mega Satellite (Event #350) is down to its final 17 players at two tables. Among those still alive: Michael Ash ($7,126 lifetime) and Karl Shepherd from Great Britain.

The $240 Daily NLH Landmark Mega Satellite (Event #352) has thinned to 37 players. Taiwan's Yenhan Chen ($163K in lifetime earnings) and Rock Eanes ($71K) are among those still in contention.

Mystery Millions Satellite at 87

A second Mystery Millions satellite — Event #353, the $240 buy-in — is down to 87 from its starting field. France's Selim Oulmekki, who carries $405K in lifetime earnings and two career final tables, is among the remaining players. Spain's Axel Orellana ($21K lifetime) and Israel's Elhanan Cohen are also still in.
