Shiina Okamoto won the TWD 60,000 High Roller at the Taiwan Millions Tournament TMT20, taking TWD 594,000 after beating Eosoo Lee heads-up in a 25-entry event that built a TWD 1.3 million prize pool.
The Day 17 result, reported by SoMuchPoker, also put Chi Huang in third for TWD 224,400 and Chejui Chang in fourth for TWD 145,200. Okamoto collected the top payout as the field of 25 was trimmed to a four-way money finish.
The High Roller was played at Asia Poker Arena and Red Space. On the same day, the Main Event had moved through Day 1E and Day 1F with entries standing at 5,593, while Day 1G was set for 11:00 AM, Day 1H for 5:00 PM, and a new TWD 40,000 High Roller was due to begin at 1:00 PM.
A WSOP report said Okamoto won the $1,000 Ladies Event for the second straight year in 2025, earning $184,094 and her second bracelet. It also said she had finished second in the same event in 2023 and entered the 2025 final table with more than three times the chips of the next biggest stack.
