When you strip away the luxury of re-entries, tournament poker becomes an entirely different beast. That was the exact challenge facing a focused field of 31 players who stepped into the Rivers Casino Schenectady poker room on June 24, 2026, for the $200 One & Done. With 25,000-chip starting stacks and a steady 20-minute blind structure, every single chips-in decision carried tournament-ending weight. There were no second chances or backup bullets available—once your chips were gone, your night was officially over.

The high-pressure environment demanded total precision and Jack B put on an absolute clinic. Jack picked his spots perfectly, navigating the unforgiving landscape and outlasting every single challenger to claim the 1st place title and the top actual cash prize of $2,091.00. Massive congratulations to Jack on proving he only needs one bullet to take home the crown!

(We deeply apologize for the delay in getting this posted—our team took the "One & Done" rule a bit too literally and thought we only had one shot to get the write-up perfect!)

And As Always Rivers, Good Luck!
