draining hot water tank

Okay so i turned on the pump and opened the hot & cold water valves in kitchen and bathroom sinks, and ran until all water stopped spitting out. I then went to the outside hot water tank compartment and removed the plug only to find that a significant amount (in the gallons) continued to pour out. so my question is why didnt the pump remove at least most of the water from the hot water tank?
