Sean Remz, pictured in a different event.

Facing an open and a three-bet from Sean Remz, who put in 6,500 in the cutoff, Jason Koon made it 18,500 in the small blind. The opener folded, but Remz moved all in. Koon got a count of 92,500.

"Why does this always have to happen?" he wondered aloud, muttering something about flipping for all of it. "You snap-shoved, so you probably don't have aces. I know you think I'm just f***ing around, too."

Koon thought for a couple of minutes and revealed the .

"This is my lowest card," he said, folding the behind it.

Remz showed and dragged the pot, admitting he didn't think Koon had it.

"I thought I was playing like a huge nit all day," Koon said.

His opponent shrugged. "Imagine I have a flush, and I go all in, would that suck? Ace-ten would make so much sense here."

Unfortunately for the 2000 WSOP Main Event champ, Evans had flopped a set of twos and had him way behind, with Ferguson unable to pull off the subsequent miracle to survive.
