Tobi Wagners brush with Hollywood

Live the Dream Everest player from Germany is living a unique kind of dream today as he is seated at the Ante Up For Africa Charity tournament table with none other than 'the Jason Bourne' mega celebrity Matt Damon.

Tobi's story is even better when you here the background.

Tobi's good friend is Markus Antonius Rogan. Rogan is an Austrian swimmer, who won two silver medals at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece and a gold medal for 200 m backstroke at the 2008 World Championships in Manchester. He also is the world record holder in 200 metres backstroke (short course). Recognizing Tobi's immense talent for poker, decided to put Tobi in this event, with the stipulation that, if he won anything from the prizepool, he would donate it half to Ante Up For Africa, and the rest to Markus' charity. Tobi seems to be having fun and enjoying his time in the tournament, as the Everest staffers and reporters continue to root for him on the rail.

We are sure that Tobi's brush with Hollywood won't go to his head, as he would like to stick to playing poker.
