Koon Escapes for Cheap
Level 9
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jason Koon raised to 13,000 from under the gun and Daniel Negreanu made a quick call directly to his left. Greg Jensen also came along from the big blind as the flop fell 
. Jensen checked, Koon bet 25,000, and Negreanu raised to 50,000. Jensen got out of the way and Koon made the call.
The turn brought the 
and Koon check-called another bet of 50,000 from Negreanu. The 
on the river put four hearts on the board and Koon checked again. Negreanu splashed in the last of his 131,000 chips and Koon mulled it over briefly before throwing away his cards, announcing he flopped a set of aces.
"I had king-ten of hearts," Negreanu confirmed for Koon. "At least I made it cheap for you."
