Koon Busted After "Picking Off" Value-Bluff

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,500 ante
Jason Koon
Jason Koon

Jason Koon bet 6,000 from the button on {k-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Brandon Adams made it 23,000, the original size of the pot, from the cutoff. Koon called and they saw a {10-Diamonds} turn, which checked through. On the {3-Clubs} river, Adams used a time extension then shoved all in for 46,500. Koon called instantly and Adams moved to exit, turning over {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

"You're good," Koon said, showing {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

Koon was left with 6,000 and busted the next hand, immediately reentering upon losing his crumbs.

Sevens for Hyman

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,500 ante
Matt Hyman
Matt Hyman

Matt Hyman raised the button to 2,500 and Ali Imsirovic called in the big blind.

Both players checked down the {8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs} board to the river where Imsirovic bet 5,000 and Hyman called.

Imsirovic tabled his {K-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a rivered pair, but it would be Hyman's {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} that would earn him the pot.

Greenberg Gets Some Value from Petrangelo

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo was in the cutoff versus Larry Greenberg on the button and he check-called down on {5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}{a-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Petrangelo called 3,000, then 8,000 then thought a bit before putting in what looked to be a reluctant call of 10,000.

Greenberg showed {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for aces up.

"Almost mucked," Petrangelo said.
