The final day of Event #35: $3,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em of the 2025 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas will commence at 12.p.m local time.
The event drew 1,027 players creating a $2,742,090 prize pool, but only eight players are returning to the final Day 3, fighting for the top prize of $451,600. Day 3 has a great lineup of players from all over the world, including Ukraine, Brazil, Bulgaria, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. There are also two WSOP bracelet winners still in the mix, Renat Bohdanov and Boris Kolev.
Ukraine’s Bohdanov stands a good chance as he returns as chip leader, sitting with 9,150,000, and will have his eyes set on securing his second WSOP bracelet. He has already cashed in one event this year, Event #29: $2,500 No-Limit Hold’em, and had a number of previously good runs in the $3,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em event from previous years, as he successfully cashed this same event in 2023 and 2022.

Bohdanov checked the A♠7♥K♠ flop. Garza bet 300,000, but was met with a raise from Bohdanov to 725,000. Garza re-raised to 1,400,000, which led Bohdanov to ship it for all the chips. Garza snap called.
Santiago Garza: A♥K♦
Renat Bohdanov: 7♣7♠
Garza held top two pair, but Bohdanov had him crushed with a set of sevens. The 3♦ and the 10♠ turn and river offered no escape hatch for Garza, who finished in seventh place.
