Mary Jones: XxXx/ 5♠4♣8♠6♠/ XxXx
Nicholas Kost: XxXx/ 7♣J♣K♦2♣ XxXx
Igor Zektser: XxXx / 3♥ - folded on third street
Igor Zektser was the bring in, Mary Jones raised and Nicholas Kost three bet. Zektser got out of the way, but Jones called.
Kost checked on fourth and after Jones bet, Kost called. That was the pattern for the rest of the hand, and Jones showed A♥4♥2♥ for a low, while Kost had A♣J♦7♦ to win the high.
Meanwhile, six-time bracelet winner Brian Hastings is also sitting at this table and looks to be below starting stack in the early stages of play.

It took three levels, 17 minutes, and 40 seconds for the first player to be eliminated.
Charles Thomas already recorded four cashes this summer, but will have to wait until 2026 to win this tournament, as no reentry is possible in the freezeout format.
