Hands #75-77: Koon Makes Huge Fold

Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Hand 75: Jason Koon made it 115,000 to go with the {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Benjamin Pollak bumped it up to 265,000 holding the {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. Koon made the call bringing a {q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} flop.

Both players checked and the {10-Diamonds} fell on the turn. Pollak bet 390,000 with his broadway straight and Koon put in a call.

The {8-Spades} completed the board and Pollak moved all in. Koon took his time using up his final time bank chip and eventually pressed the fold button.

Hand 76: Pollak opened with the {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Koon called holding the {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. A {2-Clubs}{j-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop saw Pollak continue for 105,000 and Koon check-called. The {2-Hearts} fell on the turn and as Koon reached for chips, Pollak tossed his cards into the muck saying "you win."

Hand 77: Koon limped in with the {j-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Pollak checked with the {7-}{2-}. Koon bet on the {6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop and Pollak quickly mucked.

Hand 78: Pollak min-raised with the {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and Koon flatted with the {A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. The flop came down {6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{A-Spades} and Pollak bet 115,000 which Koon check-called.

The {a-Hearts} gave Koon trips on the turn and both players checked. A disastrous {q-Clubs} hit the river and Koon bet 500,000. Pollak took a moment before raising all in and with just a second left on his clock and no timebank chips a disgruntled Koon made the correct fold.
