David NG has been eliminated in 16th place after his dominating ace-king was out-flopped by KQ.

Defending Main Event champion David has bowed out of the tournament in 16th place after a classic pre-flop confrontation took a cruel twist on the flop.

David got his chips into the middle holding AK and found himself in a dominant position against an opponent who turned over KQ. With his tournament life on the line, James was looking highly likely to secure a crucial double up.

The poker gods had other ideas. The dealer delivered a flop of AJ10, immediately connecting with his opponent's hand to complete a broadway straight.
