Jill Pike and Mikiyo Aoki both have previously finished second in the Ladies event, Pike in 2018 for $80,444 and Mikiyo in 2014 for $94,800. But their common story doesn't stop there as Pike confessed they both come from a small village in Montana.

"We're going to get the bracelet this year" added Pike with determination and a smile, "one of us will take it".

Aoki also keeps adding chips to her stack as she opened to 2,500 from the cutoff before facing a three-bet to 6,500 from the button. Aoki took a minute before opting to four-bet to 20,000 and her opponent let go.
