Couch had won two matches to advance to the third qualifying round of the Shanghai Masters but lost out 5-2 to Alan McManus, a one time world number six who won the prestigious Wembley Masters in 1994.
The 34 year-old from Scunthorpe had beaten Liu Chuang, an 18 year-old from China who qualified for the TV stages of last season's World Championship, 5-1 in the first round.
He also recorded an authoritative 5-0 whitewash of Norwich's Barry Pinches in which he constructed breaks of 85, 76 and 51, but McManus proved a much tougher opponent.
