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."
PokerGO revealed the streaming schedule for the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) that will include near-daily coverage of more than two dozen bracelet events.
Most notable will be the coverage of the $10,000 Main Event. PokerGO will broadcast each step of the action from July 2-16.
Day 1 coverage for flights 1a-1d will kick off at 7 p.m. local time, while coverage of Day 2 through Day 4 will begin at 3:30 p.m. Coverage will then begin at 1 p.m. from Day 5-8 before switching to 3 p.m. for two days of final table coverage.
Other highlights from the streaming schedule include:
PokerGO commentator Brent Hanks questioned if an angle shoot occurred on Saturday in a high-stakes tournament at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP). But we'll let you decide if the announcer is onto something, or if you think he's overreacting.
The hand in question took place with four players remaining in Event #22: $25,000 High Roller 6-Handed, with $1,734,717 up top.
