Koon's Spin-Up Begins
Level 6
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Jesse Lonis raised to 9,000 from the hijack and Jason Koon jammed for 34,500 out of the cutoff. David Coleman announced a min-raise from the big blind, and Lonis tossed his cards away.
Jason Koon: 7♣7♠ 
David Coleman: A♦J♠
Koon was one of the shortest stacks in the tournament and needed to win this race to begin his spin-up.
Koon found a more than favorable flop in the form of 7♦2♥Q♣ as he improved to a set. The remainder of the runout came 9♣8♠ and Koon doubled through Coleman.
