After four days of poker, the $1,000 Ladies Championship will crown a winner today after a frenetic Day 3 at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas reduced the field to just seven finalists.

Always an event guaranteed to deliver compelling storylines (see PokerNews reporter Gabby Barredo who captured a hand where a player pushed all-in with her husband's ashes yesterday), the WSOP's flagship female event has drawn 1,368 entrants this year with Japanese star Shiina Okamoto in pole position to win back to back titles and maintain her stranglehold on the event.
