Thomas Henshaw couldn't get away from his pocket kings just minutes after taking his seat Friday on Day 1c of the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, and it cost him his entire 60,000-chip starting stack.

The field, at the time of publishing, had over 1,300 players registered. Henshaw was the first player out the door, just moments after Jack Effel announced "shuffle up and deal." He ran into a preflop cooler against poker pro Yueqi Zhu and was unable to avoid busting with a hand that didn't improve with the five community cards.
