Prop Bet Ousts Toomas on First Hand
Level 1
: 100/200, 200 ante
Elvis Toomas knew what he was going to do in the first hand of the Main Event before the cards were even dealt. Toomas recently lost a last-longer prop bet with girlfriend Christina Gollins, which meant he had to move all-in blind in the first hand.
The action folded to Toomas on the button, who kept his word and promptly pushed his stack of 40,000 chips in the middle for a 200x raise. It only took a few seconds for Kristopher Templeman in the small blind to follow suit and commit his full stack to the middle, while the big blind folded.
Elvis Toomas: 
Kristopher Templeman: 
It was bad news for Toomas as his jack-eight had run smack into the cowboys of Templeman. The flop of 
did not help Toomas and the runout of 
sealed his fate as the first player out on Day 1b.
Gollins, meanwhile, is playing a tighter style and sits a few tables away from where her other half busted.
