No Win for Qui Nguyen; A New Champion Will Rise

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante
Qui Nguyen Eliminated
Qui Nguyen Eliminated

Catching the action on the turn, Qui Nguyen was all in and at risk against James Akenhead with 84,000 in the pot. Nguyen was holding {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. Akenhead was holding {Q-Spades}{7-Spades}. The board read {10-Spades}{K-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

Nguyen had a pair of kings, but Akenhead had a pair of sevens as well as a flush draw.

Nguyen let out a hefty grunt as the {J-Spades} fell on the river and that gave Akenhead the winning flush to take down the big pot and to eliminate the reigning Main Event champion from the tournament.

Nguyen stood up and shook hands with everyone as he left the tournament area.
