Koon Flops Set, Gets Paid

Level 5 : 600/1,200, 150 ante
Koon with the set
Koon with the set

In the first few levels, we've seen a couple of lowly pairs set up to bust those unfortunate souls holding an overpair and Jason Koon became the latest beneficiary of such a setup. In a three-bet pot against Simone "spera91" Speranza, Koon flopped top set on a {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} bord and check-raised a bet from Speranza from 6,468 to 14,736.

The turn brought the {j-Diamonds} and Koon fired a shell worth 16,181. Speranza went all in for 76,834 and Koon quickly called it off.

Simone "spera91" Speranza: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Jason Koon: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

The river was the {a-Hearts} and Speranza headed to the virtual rail.

Luuk Gieles

Luuk Gieles, one of the founders of the Poker Ambition poker training & coaching program recently featured here on PokerNews, got into a preflop raising war with Zexin "DaNieL_Zhang" Zhang. By the time the dust had settled, Gieles noticed he was miles ahead with his {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} against Zhang's {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a pot worth 154k.

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Gieles held for a sizable double.

After a raise and a call, Markuz Prinz three-bet to 16,194 from the small blind. While the initial raiser folded, Samuel "vivaegipto" Bernabeu went all in for 93,234 and Prinz snap-called for 55,763.

Markus Prinz: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Samuel "vivaegipto" Bernabeu: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Prinz was in a great spot to double up but the digital dealer fanned out {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades} for Bernabeu to flop a set and eliminate Prinz.
