The final day of Event #60: $3,000 Limit Hold’em at the 2025 World Series of Poker is set to get underway at 1 p.m. local time inside the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas. From a record-breaking starting field of 343 entries, only 11 players remain in the hunt for the $200,303 top prize and the coveted WSOP gold bracelet.
Leading the way is the United Kingdom’s Andrew Bradshaw with a massive stack of 2,475,000, the only player to have crossed the two‑million mark. Following behind are Kerry Welsh with 1,910,000 and Stephanie Nguyen with a stack of 1,820,000, who is the lone female player still in the field and a strong contender for the title.

There is only one multi‑bracelet winner entering the final day, and that’s Scott Bohlman, who returns with 975,000. Bohlman claimed his first WSOP bracelet in 2018 in a Mixed Big Bet event, and added a second just a few weeks ago when he took down Event #17: $2,000 No‑Limit Hold’em for $436,044, the biggest win of his career. A regular in mixed‑game events, Bohlman may not be among the chip leaders, but he’s undoubtedly one of the most experienced players left and possibly the most likely to walk away with the bracelet in this event.
Also returning with a shot at the title are Simeon Tsonev (1,910,000) and Nicholas Tsoukalas (1,285,000), who is making his second limit hold’em final table of the series. Roland Israelashvili (1,280,000), Matthew Valeo (905,000), Moshe Gavrieli (785,000), Ian Pelz (765,000), and Robert Klein (245,000) will also be back to battle it out on the final day.
Action resumes with limits of 40,000/80,000, with the plan to play down to a winner. Everyone is guaranteed at least $12,547 for making it this far, but the focus will be on the $200,303 top prize from the $915,810 prize pool, and of course, the coveted gold bracelet that goes to the eventual champion.
