Albert Ng raised from the hijack. Garrett Bueler went all in from the big blind with 80,000 chips. Ng called.
Garrett Bueler: Q♥9♦
Albert Ng: Q♦Q♠
The phone number runout couldn't save Bueler, as the board fell 7♠9♥4♣2♣5♣ giving Ng the win with the pocket queens, and sending Bueler to the payout desk.
Level: 23
Blinds: 15,000/30,000
Ante: 30,000
Lukas Hafner raised to 50,000 from early position, and Kevin Mizrahi three-bet all in for 205,000 from middle position. Action folded back around to Hafner, who made the call.
Kevin Mizrahi: K♣3♣
Lukas Hafner: Q♣K♠
No joy for Mizrahi on the K♦9♦5♣ flop, and when the J♣ dropped on the turn, he was drawing to a X♣ to stay alive. No luck with the K♥ river, and Mizrahi was sent to the cage.
Chang Yu Chung began the action with a raise to 50,000 from early position. Gregory Goldberg, in the next seat over, jammed for 430,000. Vladislav Donchev wanted to commit to the pot as well, as he went all-in for 275,000.
A third all-in joined the fray when Koji Fujimoto also pushed his chips towards the middle for 225,000. Chung, who started the hand with a raise, folded to create a three-way all-in showdown with Donchev and Fujimoto at risk.
Koji Fujimoto: A♠K♣
Vladislav Donchev: K♠K♦
Gregory Goldberg: A♦K♥
Donchev was in a strong position to double as both Fujimoto and Goldberg held the same hand.
The 8♥3♣7♠ flop did not threaten Donchev's pocket kings. The 10♣ turn did not change much, and the 9♣ river completed the board to award Donchev a big pot and knock out Fujimoto.
Goldberg was left with 155,000, but was busted shortly after to exit the tournament.
Stanley Lee went all in and was at risk for 195,000 from under the gun. Amit [Removed:550] then went all in for roughly 400,000. The big blind folded, and the players tabled their hands.
Stanley Lee: A♠9♥
Amit [Removed:550]: K♦K♠
The board ran out K♣5♥6♠6♣9♠, sending Lee to the payout desk.
Kurt Jewell shoved from middle position, with Minh Phan on his direct left doing the same. All other players opted against going any further, and the two went off to a runout.
Minh Phan: K♣J♦
Kurt Jewell: A♣Q♥
The board completed with minimal sweat, as Jewell sent his adversary packing on 10♠7♦2♣10♥9♠
Garrett Bueler went all in under the gun with 180, chips. Jasthi Kumar made the call from the small blind with less.
Jasthi Kumar: 10♥10♦
Garrett Bueler: A♣7♣
Kumar's tens held through the turnout of 2♦9♦6♥8♦2♣, giving him a double-up and hurting Beueler, who would get knocked out of the tournament a few hands later.
Level: 22
Blinds: 10,000/25,000
Ante: 25,000
Here are the top stacks according to the WSOP+ app.
PokerNews' Brad Whitehouse captured a hand on Saturday that might end up being the rarest we'll see all summer at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP). At the very least, the rarest chop pot.
Gus Hansen and Dzmitry Urbanovich battled for a hefty pot on Day 2 in Event #23: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship with 35 out of 127 players remaining. The pot ended in a chop, but it left future Poker Hall of Famer Nick Schulman in awe.
"I've never seen that before," Schulman, who has seen nearly everything at the poker table, was overheard saying as he glanced at the tabled cards. "Wow, that's an amazing one."
