With his stack shrinking by the minute, Craig Koch new he had to make a stand at some point. After folding his way to a stack of only 400,000, good for just four big blinds at this level, Koch heard James Hess raise to 300,000 and knew it was time to take the plunge. Koch, which we are told rhymes with "luck," made the call with his {Q-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and hoped to have live cards.

Hess ended those hopes when he turned over {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}, his hand having Harwood's outkicked. The final board ran out {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Koch was eliminated in 3rd place. He will take home $248,971 for his run through this massive Seniors Championship field.
