The last few days have been memorable for women in poker. We saw several ladies shine on the virtual felts, including Emily Terry and Tracy Smith. While Smith was the latest WSOP-C ring winner, Emily Terry claimed her largest cash and her first ring a few days back at WSOP-C Thunder Valley. Here is a quick recap of their victories across the recent WSOP-C events.
Emily Terry Wins Largest Cash & First Ring at WSOP-C Thunder Valley

The latest win marked her largest WSOP cash and her maiden WSOP ring. Additionally, she also won a seat to the 2025 Tournament of Champions.
Emily Terry’s journey to victory was nothing short of remarkable as she started the final table with one of the shortest stacks holding just 220k in chips, far behind chip leaders Charles Himes (920,000), Mario Lopez (730,000)and Adriano Wise (790,000). However, she played some top-notch poker outlasting everyone on the table. She revered a queen for Broadway to eliminate Charles Himes in third place to enter the heads-up against Adriano Wise with over 2-1 chip lead for Thirty Thirty ring.
After a back-and-forth battle, it was Emily Terry who prevailed to take down the title, with Wise settling for the runner-up prize worth $8,647.
