Former SHRP champion Steven McKoy found out the hard truth about freeze-outs, a cooler can quickly end a day.

He took his early seat then promptly ran pocket queens into the aces of three-time WSOP Circuit champ Nancy Birnbaum. There was no bad beat and McKoy was another afternoon casualty while Birnbaum picked up a nice double.
