Skye Chen Wins WSOP Ladies Championship

Her comeback victory highlights the event’s rising profile and exposes a sharp gap between strong in‑room support and hostile online reaction.

Overview

  • Skye Chen beat Aubrey Williams heads-up to win the WSOP Ladies bracelet and $194,630, earning her first bracelet in only her second WSOP event.
  • Aubrey Williams produced a tournament-defining three-handed hero call that briefly put her in a commanding chip position at the final table.
  • Chen eliminated Lisa Teebagy in third when she turned a full house after a preflop flip, a hand that set up the heads-up duel.
  • Chen seized momentum with a counterintuitive river call to win the largest pot of the match and then won a final flip to clinch the title; Williams earned $129,692 as runner-up.
  • The final table delivered six-figure, career-best payouts for finalists and underscored the Ladies Championship’s growing visibility as a supportive live crowd contrasted with reported online abuse aimed at a finalist.
