Barry Russell

Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

There were roughly 160,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 3♣K♣6♦, Vinny Lingham bet 125,000 from the big blind when the 9♥ hit the turn and Alex Foxen called from early position.

Lingham slowed down when J♠ was dealt on the river and checked, Foxen fired out a bet of 175,000 and got quickly called. Foxen announced "you got it" and mucked his hand, Lingham tabled K♦6♣.

Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo raised to 28,000 in the cutoff, and only Joao Vieira called, defending his big blind.

Vieira check-called a bet of 20,000 on a J♠4♥2♥ flop and check-called again on a flush-completing K♥ turn.

When Vieira checked for a third time on the 4♠, the aggression from Petrangelo didn't relent. This time, he slid out 250,000, which gave Vieira pause for thought. After a few moments' consideration, he returned his cards to the dealer, and Petrangelo pulled in the pot.

Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

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."

Winter Sniffs Out the Bluff

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

John Kincaid raised to 35,000 in the hijack, and Sean Winter called on the button.

After the players in the blinds folded, the dealer fanned out a 5♦Q♦7♣ flop. Kincaid continued for 40,000, and Winter called.

The turn A♦ checked through, but when the river A♠ was dealt, Kincaid decided to continue his previous aggression. He placed a bet of 75,000, which put Winter into the tank. After using one time bank and telling his opponent he had a good hand, Winter decided to call.

Kincaid flipped over K♠10♠, which was no good as Winter had Q♠J♠, good for two-pair and ownership of the pot.

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Sean Perry opened under the gun to 35,000, David Peters three-bet to 95,000 from the hijack, Perry called.

The flop came 2♥4♦2♠, Perry checked-called a bet of 50,000. Peters did not slow down when the 6♥ hit the turn and he fired out a bet of 110,000, Perry called again.

Perry found himself in spot when the K♠ was dealt on the river and Peters had put him all in. Perry, showing visible frustration, quietly mucked his hand.
