2025 World Series of Poker
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."

Barbara Enright bagged up one of the largest stacks in the room after Day 1a of Event #48: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship concluded. Enright, the first woman to win an open WSOP event, the first woman to win three bracelets, and the only woman to make the final table of the WSOP Main Event, finished with a stack of 244,500 chips, enough to place her 25th among the 621 players who progressed from this flight.
