Terry Kocher Eliminated in 17th Place ($24,660)
Terry Kocher had just been explaining that, despite being down to only two big blinds, he had managed to survive long enough to reach another pay jump and planned to hold on to those chips until he found a hand worth risking it all with.
That opportunity came when Yibo Song opened to 1,600,000 from middle position. When the action folded around to him in the small blind, Kocher decided it was time to make his stand. Song called and took him to an all-in showdown.
Terry Kocher: 9♦9♠
Yibo Song: 10♦10♠
Kocher stood up ready to leave after he saw what Song held. But then the flop came A♥6♣9♥ pushing him in the lead with a set. Everybody teased him making him sit back down.
As he sat, the dealer peeled a 10♣ turn. Craig Varnell who was at the table, teased him once again, and said, "That's because you sat back down."
The dealer completed the board with a K♦ river, sealing Kocher's fate to finish in 17th place.
