Schultz-Pedersen checked again on the 6♦ turn before Margereson bet 15,000. Schultz-Pedersen check-jammed for Margereson's remaining 38,000, and Margereson quickly folded.

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."
The players have now gone on their second break of the day. Play will resume in 20 minutes.

In a raising war, Keyavash Hemyari, who was under the gun, and Peter Cross, who was in early position, managed to get it all in the middle preflop.
Peter Cross: A♠A♦
Keyavash Hemyari: A♣K♦
A rather safe flop came for Cross with the 8♦J♣3♦, but when the Q♠ dropped on the turn, it gave Hemyari some hope. The 10♠ dropped on the river to complete a sick run out for Hemyari, who cracked Cross' pocket aces when he made Broadway and sent Cross to the rail.

Jeremy Ausmus: A♦A♠
Alexander Keating: KxKx
Keating could not find help on the Q♠8♠3♣A♣4♦ runout and Ausmus scooped in a full double-up.
