Koon Doubles Big to Take Lead

Level 9 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Jason Koon has a six-to-four advantage now after a big double-up.

Simeon Naydenov opened to 32,000 and called when Koon three-bet to 80,000.

The flop fell {10-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Koon continued for 84,000. Naydenov shoved and Koon said, "Okay then" and called.

Naydenov: {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for middle pair.
Koon: {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for top pair.

The board ran out {3-Spades}{4-Clubs}.

Naydenov cashed in his final two lammers.

That's the End of that Game Then!

Level 9 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Julian Powell has busted his first lammer and that ends their 'show and tell' game.

All the chips went in on the turn of a {2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{q-Spades}{a-Diamonds} board.

Powell had picked the {4-Spades} out of Leif Force's hand and he was showing {k-Clubs}.

Force: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Powell: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

Force took the hand with a winning straight for two-to-one chip lead.

Show and Tell

Level 9 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

While they are on their first bullet and only during the PLO rounds Julian Powell and Leif Force have decided they would each expose one random card from their hands. It's a pretty fun and exciting way to play PLO.

Level 9 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Simeon Naydenov just gave Jason Koon the poker version of a slap on the wrist in their match.

Naydenov opened to 12,000 and Koon called to see the {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop.

Naydenov continued for 16,000 and was check-raised to 37,000 by Koon. Naydenov three-bet to 86,000 and when Koon clicked it back he shoved. Koon snap-folded.
