A Man of His Word
The G is no more, fallen victim to a hand with Andy Bloch. True to his word, Tony G immediately made his way over to Tom Dwan's table, ready to do the requisite five push-ups on the table. Once he arrived, it was clear the other players at the table wouldn't necessarily desire their play being interrupted so, and Tony G thus did the push-ups on the floor next to the table, a smiling Dwan snapping a photo as he did.
Dwan then walked over to Tony G's former table and delivered $500 to Andy Bloch -- the bounty for having knocked out the G.
"There was a bounty on Tony G?" said Howard Lederer with some incredulity, who hadn't quite heard that earlier. Lederer then joked that he might've played the Tony G knockout hand a little differently if he'd known.
Bloch has chipped up to 57,500.
