The shortest stacks have wasted no time mixing it up this afternoon. Eleven players have already busted and several others have doubled up. Sam Khouiss was one of the lucky ones; he moved all in preflop for roughly 20,000 over the top of an opening raise to 5,550 from Christian Heich. Heich snap-called with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

and was in an excellent position to eliminate Khouiss, who showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

. Heich's 3-to-1 edge failed to hold as Khouiss hit top pair on a flop of {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

. The turn {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

and river

{7-Clubs}

allowed his pair of jacks to hold.

Khouiss now has about 42,000 chips. Heich is down to approximately 50,000.
