Christian Heich is playing a lot of pots, which gives him a bit more of a looser image for his opponents. Christian started this hand with about 30.000.
He got dealt _Ac _As, one player raised pre-flop and Christian re-raised. His opponent called. The flop came out _Ad _Kh _Qh giving Heich the top set. His opponent checked, Heich bets out and gets called. Turn is _9s, his opponent checks again and Christian now bets about the pot. Again he gets called. River is _5d and his opponent again checks and Christian bets 9.000 with about 12.000 behind, his opponent now moves all-in and it’s hard for Christian to throw away this hand so he calls.

Showdown:
Christian _Ac _As
Opponent _Th _Jh

Meaning that Christian loses his whole stack and busts as one of the first players of the day. Christian told me before the tournament that he will play aggressively already on the first levels, and he did indeed, but this time it didn’t fully work out.

Two levels has been played and we have just finished the first break of the day and here is the chip count:
Toni Ojala, 37.000 “Tough table, but I have position on David Williams and John Juanda”
Jonas “Molle” Molander, 30.000 “Had AK pre-flop and we got 4300 in the middle pre-flop and the flop came out Q high, and we checked it down all the way, he showed QQ” “It’s a good table with other words”.
Stephan Kjerstad, 32.000
Ivo Donev, 39.000
David Wintersberger, 31.000
