The PokerStars.net APPT Auckland Main Event will see a new champion for 2010!
Simon Watt moved all in under the gun for roughly 5,000 with Ali Ghezelbash making the call from middle position.

landed on the river, Watt was sent to the rail as Ghezelbash climbed to 49,000 in chips.
For Watt, he has been one of the few to buck the trend of big-time tournament winners being unable to surpass their most note-worthy achievement. Earlier this year Watt finish runner-up in the Lee Nelson Deep Stack Series Main Event before venturing to the Mecca of poker tournaments; the World Series of Poker just two months later.
It was there that the name Simon Watt became a household name as he not only bested a 2,563-player field to capture the Event 11: $1,500 No Limit Holdem bracelet, but also defeated one of the most talented players in the game heads up - none other than Tom 'durrrr' Dwan.
Watt went on to cash two more times at the WSOP; including in the Main Event, before returning to Australia and the Victorian Poker Championships where he made two final tables.
For this 27-year old, it is just the start of his poker career, and although he may not have fared well in his title defense, expect to see the name Simon Watt in poker circles for many years to come!
