Koenner Picks the Wrong Fight
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Donald Brown has been running over his table in the past level, eliminating a couple of the short stacks since the money bubble burst. He started the hand as the overall chipleader and opened to 25,000 from under the gun. Efim Koenner three-bet to 75,000 from the hijack and the action folded back to Brown who called.
The flop came 
and Brown led out for 125,000. Koenner thought for a minute but decided to toss his cards to the muck as Brown climbed over one million chips.
