The second edition of this championship event will crown a champion on Friday afternoon in Las Vegas, with the action set to begin at 1 p.m. But a coinflip with a painful runout kept the WSOP bracelet winner and six-time WPT final tablist from a chance at improving on her fifth place finish from a year ago. It was nearly a back-to-back final table appearance for 2022 Poker Hall of Fame nominee Kathy Liebert. She’s followed by Chris Read (2,425,000) and Lisa Costello (2,190,000) at the top of the chip counts. Thanks to a late push, longtime poker vlogger Ashley Sleeth carries the chip lead into Friday’s final table with 2,820,000. The stage is set for the first major live streamed final table of the WPT World Championship festival at Wynn Las Vegas, with eight players still in contention to win the 2023 WPT Ladies Championship. Ashley Sleeth holds the chip lead with eight players left in the 2023 WPT Ladies Championship.
