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."

Petrangelo Unrelenting

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.

There were roughly 150,000 in the pot on a flop of J♦6♣2♠. Seth Davies who was under the gun checked to Chance Kornuth who bet 45,000, Davies decided to raise to 120,000 and Kornuth called.

The 8♥ hit the turn, and Davies checked. Kornuth kept up the pressure with a bet of 100,000, and Davies quickly folded.

Emilien Pitavy raised before seeing a three-bet by Taylor von Kriegenbergh. Pitavy responded with a four-bet, to which von Kriegenbergh returned in kind with a five-bet shove for roughly 380,000. Pitavy snapped, and the cards were revealed.

Taylor von Kriegenbergh: A♠K♠ All in
Emilien Pitavy: A♣A♦

A nasty situation for von Kriegenbergh, and when he was unable to find any help on the 9♥2♣8♣6♠10♥ board, he headed to the rebuy desk.

Ramiro Salinas: 3♦3♠ All in
Ben Heath: 9♦9♥

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

Action folded to Stephen Chidwick, and seeing a short-stacked Mathew Frankland in the big blind, he raised to 30,000. The small blind got out of the way, and Frankland moved all in for roughly 60,000.

Chidwick called, and the players turned their cards over.

Mathew Frankland: A♦J♥ All in
Stephen Chidwick: Q♦Q♠

The deck favoured Frankland on this occasion with the board running out A♣7♠8♦8♠J♦, giving him two-pair and a double up.
