Day 4 was the day when everybody got up the eyes for a young German, his name is Heich, Christian Heich. He was playing so good poker, so that even the Aussie guys started rooting for him, he made some dangerous plays, who all worked out well.

They were down to 15 people when Christian got dealt 10-10, he raised to 40.000 and got one caller. The flop was good for Christian, 2-8-6 with two hearts, Heich raised 60.000, got re-raised to 130.000, Heich decides to re-re raise to 245.000 and then Stewart Scott went all in, and got a call. Christian shows his pocket 10’s, and Stewart his 9-10 of hearts for both a flushdraw, and a straight draw. On the turn the killing card 2 of hearts made it impossible for Christian to take the pot.

He went out on 14th position, AU$65.000 richer. Right now I am sure he is not happy with it, but the whole pokerworld now knows who Mr. Heich is, and he is definitely a guy for the future!

Don’t forget that soon will day 3 of EPT Deauville by Pokerstars.net begin! We have Toni Ojala with 103.000 in chips. We will also follow Ivo Donev with 56.500 in chips. They are both already in the money, now we will just count in the money and final table!

Stay tuned, because in a couple of minutes it begins! And again congratulations to Christian Heich!

Christian has been up and down today in day 4, for a while he was n the exclusive million club, where only people with over 1.000.000 in chips can join. He has now dropped down to around 600.000 in chips, this still means that he still has a big chance of moving on to day 5 and the final table…

There are now 19 players left, and we are today playing down to the final 7 players..

Good Luck Christian!

Team RedKings is doing better than ever, from being one member in the start the team really has developed and grown. Who does not know about Team RedKings today? Maybe a 75 year old grandfather who never has seen either a deck of cards or a computer.

Good night people, and remember to come back here for all the action tomorrow!

We were able to get in touch with Christian in Australia, after his great third day, who has put him as 2nd in the total chip count..

We gave him the so many time asked question; how does it feel?
I am very tired after these three long days of Poker, but I feel confident for day 4, and I really like that we have started to play short-handed.

It was hard to get any more information out of him, which is very understandable, focusing to 110% for twelve hours, three days in a row must be exhausting.

We wish Christian the best of luck tomorrow, and you will be able to follow him here at the blog!

You can also follow him live from theongamezone

We have soon been playing for 4 hours on day 2 in EPT Deauville by Pokerstars.net. We have got rid of more than half of the field that started today, and we are down to 111 players, the average stack is 58.000 which is about what Toni right now has in his stack..

More interesting is that Christian Heich goes through to day 4 in the Aussie Millions, as 2nd in chips! You can only get more and more impressed by the champ Christian. You will get more information about him later tonight, as we are right now doing an interview with him. Christian has 880.000 chips to bring him in a very large bag for tomorrow, where he is going to meet these guys:

Table 11
Seat 1 Hoi Cheung - 370,000
Seat 2 Dixon Ruecker - 318,000
Seat 3 Kelly Kim - 380,000
Seat 4 Barny Boatman - 153,000
Seat 5 Christian Heich - 880,000
Seat 6 Sorel Mizzi - 293,000

More about Christian later, and very soon more about Toni!

The new German superstar is again going like a rocket in the Aussie Millions Main Event, he has now got 620.000 in chips! There are only 33 players left in the tournament, and who knows where this can end…

They are now playing with shorthanded tables and Christian got re-drawn to this table:
Seat 1 - 315,000 - Hoi Cheung
Seat 2 - 375,000 - Leonid Cai
Seat 3 - 270,000 - Jonathon Plens
Seat 4 - Empty
Seat 5 - 780,000 - Michael Tureniec
Seat 6 - 620,000 - Christian Heich

We know that the Swedish shooting star Michael Tureniec that finished second in EPT London, and won a side event in the Amsterdam Master Classics of Poker really has to get the biggest respect. Even I am very excited over this, so if you are not, this is probably not the right blog for you..

Go Christian, GOO!

(The Live Reporting from the Aussie Millions is taken from theongamezone, you can find their reporting here)

Day 3 is the day when we are playing down to the money, in the start of the day we had two players who had the chance of getting there. Christian Heich, the german player who won the first side event here in the Aussie Millions 2009. Veli-Pekka Penttinen who has showed us how to stay alive as a shortstack during the whole Main Event, incredible!

Day 3 has been running for about 8 hours, the bubble has bursted, and guess what? Both of our RedKings players made it into the money! Veli-Pekka was of course very happy with this, since he didn’t need to pay for his buy-in, everything now was a very big win. Veli-Pekka struggled through with his shortstack and when it was 47 players left, Veli-Pekka announces that he is all in, he gets a instant call from David Docherty, who shows the monster AA, Veli-Pekka shows A8, he got one 8 on the river, but sadly he has to leave his seat. The good thing is that he also leaves his seat AU$20.000 richer! Congratulations to Veli-Pekka, we will try to get some comments from him later on.

Now. what has happened to Christian Heich? Is he still in?….

Yes he is! Christian has been playing some awesome poker during this Main Event, and today he has really showed us that he is right now one of the top poker players in the world! There are 43 players still in the tournament, Christian has a mountain of chips, worth 570.000! The average stack is 320.000, so where will this end?

Well, if you follow this blog you will soon now!

PS. Only one hour until EPT Deauville by Barriere Poker day 2 starts, where we have Toni Ojala starting with a nice stack!

Is going to have two RedKings players in it. We had two who started day 2, and they both made it through to the third day. Christian Heich is saving 168.500 chips in his plastic bag over the night, Christian has been up and down all day, in the heights of almost 400.000 chips. Our Finnish qualifier Veli-Pekka Penttinen has had a perfect curve today, moving slowly upwards, which is confirmed by that he is ending the day with the best chip stack he has had over the whole tournament, 79.800.

There are now 86 players still in the tournament, out of those 86, 64 players will get to the money. Everybody’s goal is the AU$2.000.000 in first price. Christian has shown before that he knows how to win here in Australia, so we really hope for another win!

Good Luck to Veli-Pekka and Christian tomorrow, you will get updates from their progress in the tournament during day 3 here in the blog!

And we still have our two RedKings players in the action. Christian Heich before had a Mount Everest of chips, that was worth 375.000, now he still has a mountain but not in the size of Mount Everest. He has been running a bit cold the latest hours and is “down” at 225.000 chips, still far over the

average. Veli-Pekka Penttinen is really grinding through this tournament, and he is going slowly upwards, now he has a Kebnekaise (Biggest mountain in Sweden, and yes I am Swedish) in front of him worth 65.000.

We are down to a total of 110 players, and we are getting closer and closer to the money payouts. 65 players will get money back, some more and some less, but those who make it will surely be happy.

Good Morning people! Time for a day with a lots of reporting, pictures and other tasty information only available here at Team RedKings official blog.

First I want to give you the great news from Australia where we had Christian Heich and Veli-Pekka

Penttinen playing the second day. Christian started the day with a good stack of 53.000, that is NOTHING compared to what he has now, during the night he has gathered more than 10% of all the tournament chips, and now has a huge stack of 375.000. This puts him as the 2nd of chips in the Aussie Millions Main Event!

Veli-Pekka Penttinen is also still in there after 8 hours of play in the second day, not with a big stack as Christian, but with a stack of 28.000, but with a stack of that size we know that everything can happen. We are still in a country with kangaroos…

In 20 minutes, day 1B will start here in Deauville, and today it will be exciting with our 3 RedKings players playing. More about that soon..

If you haven’t found a reason to stay here all day now, I guess you are blind or that you are not able to read, but then watch the pictures!
