Level 18
: 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."

“I probably played better than the last three I won. Everything went my way this tournament. I was always at the top of the leaderboard, never really got short, and probably played my best overall.”
That's what Michael Mizrachi had to say after he cruised to victory in Event #66: $50,000 Poker Players Championship.
Already sharing the record for most $50,000 Poker Players Championship victories with Brian Rast, Mizrachi now stands alone after capturing his historic fourth title on Saturday at the 2025 World Series of Poker. "The Grinder" conquered the 107-entry field, earning $1,331,322 from the $5,162,750 prize pool and further cementing his legacy as the event's most dominant force.

Brad Albrinck opened from the cutoff, as he potted it to 42000. Sean Rafael repotted to 138,000 from the small blind, and Albrinck put in the call.
On a flop of 10♠9♦8♠ Rafael checked it over to Albrinck, who then announced "pot" for the second time. Rafael folded, as Albrinck's chip count went above his own.

Action was picked up on a flop of 7♠2♣8♣ with 114,000 in the middle. Joshua Ladines was under the gun and checked his option over to Sonny Lee on his direct left. Lee then announced "pot," which, after some time, got a call from Ladines, who then potted himself on the 10♥ turn for 342,000. Lee shoved for 381,000, and Ladines put in the chips.
Sonny Lee: J♦J♠8♠8♥ 
Joshua Ladines: 10♣9♠7♦6♣
Ladines had turned the goods, with a flush redraw to boot. The Q♠ river changed nothing, meaning that Lee's set wasn't enough to keep him in contention.

JC Tran made it roughly 35,000 under the gun with Samuel Burkett calling on the button. Fabien Motte squeezed to 166,000 from the big blind blind, and only Tran called.
Motte jammed for Tran's remaining 118,000 when he saw the flop of 3♦8♠2♠, and Tran quickly called.
JC Tran: K♥Q♠J♥9♠
Fabien Motte: A♣A♦Q♣3♠
Motte had aces, against the flush draw of Tran. The A♠ turn gave Tran his flush, and he just needed to fade a board-pairing river to double-up. The J♠ river was safe for Tran, and he doubled his stack with a flush.

Ferenc Deak made it 42,000 to go from the cutoff and only Zachary Reinbold called out of the big blind.
The dealer fanned out the flop of 4♦5♣3♠ and Reinbold started with a check. Deak bet 26,000, which Reinbold called.
Reinbold checked again on the 5♠ turn, prompting Deak to bet 51,000. Reinbold quickly folded and surrendered the pot to Deak.

Action was picked up on a board reading 5♠K♦6♥A♥3♦ in what was described to PokerNews as a "limped pot preflop." There were 360,000 chips in the middle, and Ian Matakis had announced "pot," in the cutoff, leaving just under 60,000 chips behind. Richard Gryko then put him all in, and Matakis went deep into the tank with one player left to a $900 pay jump.
Once he made it, he flicked in the call and showed K♥K♣4♠3♣ for second set with a straight blocker. However, Gryko showed that his wrap had improved to the nuts on the river, as his 8♣7♠5♦4♦ scooped, sending Matakis home.
