Level 14

Ante: 2000
Low Card: 2000
Completion: 8000
Limits: 8000-16000

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."

Action was caught on seventh street, with around 80,000 in the middle. David Moskowitz bet, leaving him with 4,000 behind. Yoon was in the blender, mulling over his options. He appeared to make a reluctant call, and then mucked after seeing Moskowitz's sixes and threes.
