Koon Forces a Mandavia Muck

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jason Koon had the all-in plaque in front of him in the big blind on a completed board of {4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Ankush Mandavia was thinking things over in the small blind, and after using at least one time extension he decided to fold. Koon dragged the pot and Mandavia preserved his remaining 168,500.

Nines for Kenney

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kevin Hart limped in and Bryn Kenney raised it up in the cutoff to 7,000. Cary Katz called on the button, as did Hart.

The flop fell {Q-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} and all three players checked.

The turn landed the {A-Spades} and Kenney bet out 4,500 with both Katz and Hart calling.

The river landed the {4-Spades} and the action was checked through.

Hart tabled his {5-Clubs}{5-Spades} for a full house, but it would be Kenney's {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} that would see him scoop the pot.

Perper Wins Multiway Pot

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Connor Drinan, Dan Perper, Leon Tsoukernik, and Erik Seidel all committed 6,000 preflop before the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs} board was checked down to the river where Perper bet out 30,000.

Tsoukernik and Seidle both folded before Drinan went into the tank eventually being forced to use one of his time extension buttons before relinquishing his hand.

Koon Pays Schindler

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jason Koon bet 20,000 from the small blind on a board of {5-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. He was facing a raise to 75,000 from Jake Schindler when we made it to the table, and Koon was thinking things over. Already, two time extensions were in the middle. Koon verbalized a call and Schindler turned over {a-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Koon sent his cards to the muck with some force.
