2016 WSOP Main Event Champ Busts

[user270022]

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Qui Nguyen, the latest winner of the WSOP Main Event, was a late entry this afternoon. We passed him a little bit ago as his table was commenting on the whereabouts of his raccoon hat, made famous as it sat atop Nguyen's head throughout his Main Event run and into the November Nine final table.

Nguyen was donning a new cap this year, disappointing others at his table. As we strolled by just now, Nguyen's seat was empty and according to his former tablemates, Nguyen moved all in on a jack-high flop with jack-ten. His opponent had made the call with queen-ten, as Nguyen was rather short-stacked his opponent went runner-runner to backdoor a flush and eliminate the defending champ from play.
