Former chip leader Craig Koch raised to 53,000 from under-the-gun and Kenneth Russell reraised to 135,000. After some thought, Koch announced that he was all-in for 513,000 and Russell called him down.
Showdown:
Koch: 
Russell: 
The flop came 
, pairing Russell's queen and giving him three additional outs. None of those outs arrived on the turn 
, or river 
, and Koch scored the double-up with his pair of kings. He now sits with 1,066,000 while Russell fell to 300,000.
