Koon Gets Some Back

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

Jason Koon cashed in his second lammer after that pot and is putting those chips to better use.

He min raised the button, checked the flop, bet 21,000 on the turn, and 43,000 on the river.

The final board read {j-Spades}{k-Spades}{8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Simeon Naydenov matched him all the way.

Koon opened [{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for trips and Naydenov mucked.

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.

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.

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.

Force Pulling Ahead

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

Julian Powell is on his last bullet and has been leaking chips. He just opened to 40,000 and Leif Force potted to 120,000 and Powell called. The flop came {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {Q-Spades} and Force immediately put out enough chips to put Powell all in.

After a short tank Powell folded, leaving himself with around 260,000.
