Five has become four but it took a massive cooler and a one-outer to do it!
It was a battle of the blinds with Nicolas Oger clashing with David Lim with all the chips in preflop. Oger held 
but he��d run into Lim��s 
.
The dealer spread the flop, and there it was, the ace from space on the 
flop. Oger had taken the lead and Lim was looking for some sort of miracle. The 
turn card was a blank and Lim now had only one card in the deck or Oger would double through.
With the crowd leaning over the rail in anticipation, the dealer burned a card and then revealed the 
!
The case king for the one-outer! The crowd roared in excitement as Oger had gone from jubilation to heartbreak in an instant. He��s out in 5th place for NZ$26,265 in prize money as Lim now has a stranglehold on this tournament with almost half the chips in play.
