The first elimination has occurred very early here at the final table, with the short-stacked David Evans heading home in ninth place. The hand started with Matt Wakeman opening the pot to 12,000 from early position. Evans was a couple of spots to his left and three-bet to 36,000. Ken Demlakian made the flat-call in the hijack and Wakeman got out of the way.
Flop: 
Evans instantly shipped his remaining stack of around 50,000 in on the flop and Demlakian called just as quickly.
Demlakian: 
Evans: 
Evans was in good shape to double up and it stayed that way on the 
turn. However, it was the 
on the river that sealed Evans fate, sending him packing with NZD$12,070 to show for his time.
