All in First Hand?

Level 1 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

There was a rumor floating around that Guy Laliberté was going to move all in blind the first hand, so when the first hand was dealt, we were watching intently. The action folded to Tobias Reinkemeier, who opened for a raise, and Phil Ruffin mucked his hand.

We couldn't hear exactly what Laliberté said to his tablemates, but it looked like: "I said I was going to go all in the first hand."

He looked at his cards and mucked however, and Reinkemeier took down the blinds.
