Evaluating embodied systems with real dexterous hardware requires more than isolated motor-skill tests: an agent must perceive a changing scene (e.g. a tabletop), choose a context-appropriate action, execute it with a dexterous hand, and leave the scene usable for later decisions. We introduce DexHoldem, a comprehensive real-world benchmark evaluating Texas Hold'em related dexterous manipulations with a ShadowHand. DexHoldem provides 1,470 teleoperated demonstrations across 14 Texas Hold'em manipulation primitives, a standardized physical policy benchmark, and an agentic perception benchmark that tests whether agents can recover the structured game state needed for embodied decision making. On primitive execution,
π0.5 obtains the highest task completion rate (
61.2%), while
π0.5 and
π0 tie on scene-preserving success rate (
47.5%). On agentic perception, Opus 5.5 narrowly leads on both strict problem-level accuracy (
49.1%) and average field-wise accuracy (
80.6%); the gap between the two exposes the distance between isolated visual sub-capabilities and complete routing-relevant state recovery. Finally, we instantiate the full embodied-agent loop with one agent--policy pairing over 33 closed-loop hand-level rollouts, in which only
12.1% of hands complete; retries restore the failed primitive in 12 of 34 dispatches and resolve prolonged execution stalls in three of the four completed hands, which would otherwise have required manual termination. Only one hand completes with neither a retry nor a human-help request. DexHoldem therefore evaluates dexterous tabletop execution, agentic perception, and embodied decision routing in a shared physical setting. Project website: https://dexholdem.github.io/Dexholdem/
