Koon's Stack Suffers Huge Blow but He Doesn't Lose the Max
Level 16
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Jason Koon opened the hijack to 75,000 with 
and Sergio Aido flatted with 
in the big blind. The flop was disastrous for Koon as the 
appeared on the table. Aido check-called 50,000 and he checked again on the 
turn. Koon blasted a 295,000-bet and Aido called. Then he checked the 
river and Koon was running into trouble, betting 650,000. But Aido just called, preventing himself from a situation where Koon would wake up with aces. Koon lost heaps in the hand but he could still continue with a competitive stack.
