Level 20
Christian Roberts
Christian Roberts

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Christian Roberts shoved from the small blind for a bit over 200,000 and Michael Mizrachi called from the big blind with a covering stack to put him at risk.

Roberts stood pat and Mizrachi thought for about 30 seconds before drawing one, showing Roberts that he was discarding a Qx.

Christian Roberts: Qx9x7x5x2x All in
Michael Mizrachi: 6x5x4x3x

Roberts had gotten Mizrachi to break a better queen but Mizrachi drew a 9x to eliminate Roberts two spots shy of the final table.

Two Pots for Johnson

Level 20

No Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Joao Vieira raised to 110,000 from the button and Marco Johnson called from the small blind.

Johnson drew two, while Vieira stood pat. Action checked through, and Johnson tabled Qx8x4x3x2x. Vieira couldn't beat the queen low and conceded the pot.

Johnson then raised to 100,000 on the button and Bryn Kenney called from the small blind.

Both players drew two, and again action checked through to showdown.

"Ace," said Kenney but it was no good as Johnson had Jx10x8x7x2x for a jack-low to win another pot.

Gus Hansen Involved in One of the Rarest Poker Hands You'll See at the 2025 WSOP

Level 20

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."

Small Pots for Kenney and Vieira

Level 20

2-7 Single Draw

Marco Johnson raised to 100,000 on the button, with Bryn Kenney calling in the small blind. Esther Taylor folded in the big blind, and both players asked for one card.

Kenney checked to Johnson, who checked back to showdown. Johnson turned over a Kx, but Kenney tabled Qx9x7x6x3x to claim the pot.

On the next hand, Joao Vieira opened to 110,000 from under the gun, finding a lone call from Andrew Yeh in the big blind. Yeh asked for two cards, while Vieira stood pat.

Both players checked it down, and Vieira showed Jx10x6x5x3x to take it down as Yeh mucked.

Some Limit Hold'em Action on the Feature Table

Level 20

Joao Vieira raised from under the gun and called when Bryn Kenney reraised from the hijack. Vieira check-folded to a bet after the K82 flop.

Soon after, Andrew Yeh raised from the button and Marco Johnson called from the big blind. Johnson check-called a bet on the K97 flop, and then check-raised after the 3 turn. Yeh called the increased wager.

Johnson bet after the 2 completed the board. Yeh quickly called and showed a small sign of frustration after Johnson tabled J8 for a flush. Yeh flashed his KxKx to Johnson.

Kenney then raised from the small blind, and called when Esther Taylor raised from the big blind. Kenney check-folded to a bet on the Kx6x6x flop for E-Tay to take one down.

On the next deal, Taylor raised in the small blind. Yeh made it three-bets from the big blind and was called. Taylor called a bet on the A105 flop, and then check-raised Yeh's bet after the J turn. Yeh called.

Taylor fired out another bet on the Q river and called when Yeh raised.

Taylor and Yeh chopped the pot after showing down KQ and AK respectively.

Yu Cracks Mizrachi's Kings

Level 20

Pot-Limit Omaha

Michael Mizrachi raised to 130,000 in the cutoff, with Ben Yu defending his big blind to the 4106 flop.

Both players checked to the 10 turn, where Yu check-called a bet of 100,000 from Mizrachi. The 8 river produced checks from both players once more.

Mizrachi showed KK, which was no good as Yu tabled 8755 for a straight to claim the pot.
