John Tobias Gets an Early KO

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

On one of the first hands dealt today at the Rio, John Tobias got all in with {a-}{j-} against an opponent with {q-}{q-}. He hit an ace on the flop and stayed ahead to eliminate his opponent.

"There's still a tournament at the Venetian," Tobias said to his opponent as he headed for the rail.

When John Tobias gave his name, is neighbor at the table said, "that is my given name, Tobias."

Tobias Ziegler is John Tobias's neighbor and started today with over 200,000.
