Jason Koon opened the button to 110,000 and called off when Mikita Badziakouski shoved for his 1,155,000 from the big blind.
Mikita Badziakouski: 
Jason Koon: 
Badziakouski was slightly ahead and Koon was still trailing on the 
. Both players started joking before the river was dealt.
Koon knuckled the felt, saying goodbyes to his opponent while Badziakouski was confident himself: "Will you give me 1,155,000, please?" he asked.
The river was the 
and Koon indeed had to ship Badziakouski the aforementioned price, doubling him up.
