Toby Lewis raised under the gun, and called when Nacho Barbero three-bet on the button. Lewis led out with a bet on the 8♥9♠J♥ flop, but checked the K♣ turn once Barbero had called.

Barbero checked behind, prompting Lewis to fire again on the 2♦ river. Barbero called for Lewis to table A♠A♥K♥2♠ for kings and deuces, winning him the pot.

Toby Lewis raised from the button and Chad Eveslage called from the big blind.

On the J♦9♥6♠ flop, Eveslage check-called a bet from Lewis.

Eveslage would check-call again on the 5♥ turn before the 10♦ river checked through.

Eveslage announced tens-up, but Lewis tabled A♠J♣9♦4♥ for a better two pair to win another pot as he nears eight figures and Eveslage creeps into the danger zone.

Limit Hold'em

A limped pot was checked through on the K♣A♠7♠ flop. Small blind Nacho Barbero then bet on the 10♦ turn, which amounted to a pot-sized bet because of the lack of previous action.

Chad Eveslage in the big blind weighed his options before he called to the Q♥ river. Barbero slowed down and checked, after which Eveslage tossed in a bet.

Barbero called, but shook his head and showed the Q♣ when Eveslage tabled J♥8♣ for a rivered straight.

On sixth, Miller led with open queens, Rast raised, and Miller called all-in for 550,000 total.

Rast was ahead with kings against the queens and low draw of Miller. Rast caught the 7♥ on the end for no improvement, as Miller bricked off with the 9♣ as he could not make a low or two pair, and he was eliminated on the first hand back from dinner.

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."
