Player Out!

In one of the very first hands of the day, Swede David Näslund was eliminated from the tournament. Näslund had Ace-King against an opponents Ace-Ace. The AA player raises to 12 BB, 600, from cut-off, Näslund calls from button and big blind calls too. Flop came A, 8, 4 and there is a continuation overbet of 2,000, Näslund calls again. The turn is another eight, the AA player goes all-in for another 7,000 and Näslund feels a bit sick, but makes the call and is drawing dead. French player is of course chip leader on 20,000.
