Dylan Smith is an American professional poker player from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, who has quickly become one of the most feared names on the high stakes circuit. Known for his intense focus and ability to stay “in the flow,” Smith spent years building his reputation in the Florida card rooms before exploding into the global spotlight. With a major World Poker Tour title and several massive high roller victories to his name, he has proven he can beat the best in both No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha. Whether he is playing at his home casino or on the PokerGO Tour, Smith is a dedicated pro who treats every hand with the highest level of professionalism.

Career Earnings & Biggest Results

According to The Hendon Mob, Dylan Smith has won over $5 million in live tournament earnings. His most famous victory happened in December 2024 when he won the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open Championship. He outlasted a massive field of 1,435 entries to take home a career best $662,200 and got his name engraved on the Mike Sexton Champions Cup.

Smith is a versatile champion with trophies in multiple formats. In early 2025, he had an incredible run at the Wynn Millions in Las Vegas, where he was the only player to win two separate events in the same series. He won a $10,500 Pot Limit Omaha event for $240,000 and a $10,500 No Limit Hold’em high roller for $173,160 within just a few days. He also holds a PokerGO Tour title from the 2025 PGT PLO Series, where he won $252,450.

Biography & Poker Background

Born in the early 1990s, Dylan Smith grew up with a passion for competition. While some players find poker later in life, Smith is part of the modern generation of pros who treated the game like a professional sport from the beginning. Interestingly, he shares a name with the co-founder of Box, but this Dylan Smith has made his fortune entirely at the card table. He is a proud representative of the Florida poker scene, often stating that sleeping in his own bed and having a solid morning routine helps him play his best when the series are in his home state. His breakout years in 2024 and 2025 showed that his years of hard work in regional games prepared him perfectly for the pressure of televised final tables.

Play Style & Strategy

Smith is known for being locked in and intensely focused whenever he is at the table. He is a master of “small ball” poker, using his technical skills to win many small pots rather than relying on giant gambles. One of his greatest strengths is his versatility, as he is equally comfortable playing the two cards of No Limit Hold’em or the four cards of Pot Limit Omaha. He often relies on his ability to read the momentum of a game, making sure he is always in the “flow” of the action. His win against Matthew Beinner at the WPT final table showed his mental toughness, as he managed to stay calm while the chip lead traded hands back and forth for over two hours before finally closing the deal.
