Not much longer than ten minutes into the final table, Tony Pearce opened to 130,000 UTG. Jiten Chauhan then moved all in for 1,000,000 from UTG+2. Action folded back to Pearce, who decided to make the call.
Jiten Chauhan: A♦K♥
Tony Pearce: A♥10♣
It was a battle of the short stacks, with Pearce being the player at risk. Chauhan was still ahead on the 4♦J♣3♠ flop. Pearce found additional outs on the Q♥ turn, but the 4♠ river sealed his fate. As such, Pearce became the first one to bid farewell from the final table, going out in ninth place for £3,110.
Jiten Chauhan: 1,800,000
