Koon Doubles Through Tsang

Level 16 : 0/0, 80,000 ante
Jason Koon
Jason Koon

Elton Tsang limped and Jason Koon three-bet all in for 1,355,000. Tsang called putting Koon at risk.

Jason Koon: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Elton Tsang: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The flop {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} improved Koon to a set, but the flop also gave Tsang a gutshot straight draw.

The turn {9-Hearts} took away one of his outs, with Koon holding the king of hearts. The river was the {6-Diamonds} and Koon doubled up.

Ivan Leow Eliminated in 7th Place ($194,500)

Level 16 : 0/0, 80,000 ante
Ivan Leow
Ivan Leow

Ivan Leow shoved for 1,170,000 from under the gun. Phil Ivey called and the remaining players all folded.

Ivan Leow: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Phil Ivey: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

Leow had run into the aces of Ivey who had his opponent covered by only three antes. However, Leow flopped a set on the {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop. The {7-Clubs} gave Ivey a gutshot, and he completed that straight on the {6-Spades} river.

With the ace playing low (in short deck, A-6-7-8-9 is a wheel), Ivey's nine-high straight saw him eliminate Leow in seventh place.
