The ninth-place finisher, David Evans, and Ivan Zalac both started the day with the shortest stacks. They have now both been eliminated, with Zalac falling to the rail during the following hand. The action was started with a raise to 12,500 from Ricky Kroesen and Zalac quickly shoved for 61,000 on his direct left. The play then flew back around the table to Kroesen.
"Well, let's see if i can win a flip," said Kroesen as he tumbled in the call. It wasn't quite a flip though, with Kroesen's 
having Zalac's 
dominated.
The 
board was no help to Zalac, with him being eliminated in eighth place, while all his chips head into Kroesen's stack. A great effort from Zalac, he goes home with NZ$15,100.
