Tony G's Bounty Claimed First

Tony G Preparing to Exit
Tony G Preparing to Exit
As the namesake of this event, all eyes are on Tony G over at Table 29. Just a few minutes into the tournament, he moved all in for his whole stack with {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs}. Action folded around to Con Cotsomitis, and he made the call in the dark before he even looked at his cards. The rest of the table passed, and Cotsomitis turned up a reasonable hand: {A-Spades} {2-Diamonds}. As Tony G stood and a crowd gathered around the table, the dealer ran out the board: {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {4-Hearts}.

Coming from behind to pair his ace, Cotsomitis delivers the early deathblow to Tony G. He will pocket $500, and claims the first bounty of the day.
