Today, Event #17: $2,000 No-Limit Hold’em at the 2025 World Series of Poker is set to crown a winner at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. After battling down to the final two players late last night, Scott Bohlman and Dusti Smith agreed to pause the action and return today to play for the title, the $436,044 top prize, and the coveted gold WSOP bracelet.

It was a marathon Day 3, as 19 players returned and played deep into the night until only Bohlman and Smith remained from the original 1,692-entry field. Bohlman will return with the chip lead, bagging 30,500,000, while Smith will come back with 20,500,000 in chips. The runner-up is set to earn $290,588.

While Bohlman brings plenty of experience to the table with multiple WSOP final table appearances and one bracelet already in his collection, Smith is no stranger to the game either. Both have been in the poker world for many years, and this heads-up match promises to be a competitive and entertaining showdown.

If Bohlman comes out on top, he’ll add another bracelet to his résumé; if Smith prevails, she’ll join the elite group of women to have claimed WSOP gold.

In a limped pot the flop came AJ7 and both players checked and saw the turn off the 8. Dusti Smith checked and Scott Bohlman bet out for 1,500,00. Smith misclicked and pushed out enough for a minimum raise to 3,000,000 instead of a flat call. Bohlman called.

The river brought the J and Smith check called Bohlman's 4,000,000 bet and threw her cards down on the table in disgust when Bohlman tabled J5 for rivered trips.

Dusti Smith moved all-in from the button, and Scott Bohlman snap called.

Dusti Smith: Q4All in
Scott Bohlman: 66

Smith needed to hit a queen or a miracle straight to stay alive, but got some help on the A25, which gave her additional outs.

No help on the 2 turn, and when the 6 bricked out on the river Smith was eliminated in second place.
