Smith Cuts Koon In Half

We saw Jason Koon enter the tournament area and take his seat at the same table as World Series of Poker bracelet winner Gavin Smith. On Koon's first hand at the table, he became entangled with Smith for a massive pot.

The board read {10-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Koon checked. Smith moved out a massive bet of 5,900 and Koon went into the tank. There was already a substantial amount of chips in the pot already and finally Koon decided to make the call.

Smith rolled over {9-Spades}{6-Spades} for a flush and Koon threw away his cards. Smith's scooping up of this massive pot brings him to about 31,000 while Koon is forced with an immediate uphill battle to start the day.
