William Kopp (Brecksville, OH)

William Kopp would just be sent home in what will go down as the pot of the tournament.  The action would be picked up on the flop of  6♣ 4♦ 3♣.  Jefferey Chang would bet out 125,000 from the small blind, with action on William Kopp.  Kopp would raise to 275,000, with Chang checking his cards and ask Kopp what he started the hand with (Kopp started the hand with just under 1,000,000).  Chang would stand up and stare down the chips, before announcing himself all-in.  When William made the call, half the table stood up for this pot now worth 2,000,000:

Kopp: 5♥ 7♠ (flopped nut straight)
Chang: 5♣ 7♣ (flopped nut straight w/ club draw)

Turn: K♣
River: 3♦

The two would have the same hand, with Chang on the ultimate free roll.  Jefferey would get there on the turn, leaving William to just stand and look down at the board.  Kopp took the loss as well as he could, agreeing with Chang when Jefferey looked over and said, "It's just a cooler spot."  William was second in chips at the time this hand took place, so Chang assumes what is now a massive chip lead (with over 2,000,000).
