Nikolay Evdakov Eliminated in 14th Place ($16,102)

Nikolay Evdakov defied all odds today, wielding the tournament's shortest stack at the start of the day (12,100) and riding it all the way to a 14th-place finish worth $16,102 in prize money.

Nikolay was eliminated from the tournament by Ralph Perry after shoving all in from the button with the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}; Perry looked him up with a pocket pair of nines. A third nine on the flop for Perry tightened his grip on the hand, though a jack on the turn gave the Russian Evdakov four outs to a gutshot straight draw. Unfortunately for Nikolay, an ace fell on the river putting an end to his impressive Day 2 run, though he walked away with his head held high, happy to have gone as far as he did.

With the win, Ralph Perry has once again crawled past the 400,000 mark in chips.
