Former Champ Qui Nguyen Exits in Brutal Cooler from Lim
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Action began when former WSOP Main Event Champion Qui Nguyen opened to 2,000 in early position and was called by Aaron Ogus to his left. He was then raised to 6,000 by Johnson Lim in late position. Nguyen responded by putting in the four-bet jam for 56,000, which sent Ogus into the tank. After some deliberation, Ogus made the fold (later said was pocket sixes) then Lim snap-called and the cards were tabled with Nguyen at risk.
Qui Nguyen: 
Johnson Lim: 
Faced with the classic cooler, Nguyen needed a king to stay alive in search of his second Main Event title, but it was quite literally not in the cards as the board ran out 
to give Lim the victory as Nguyen exited the tournament area.
