Koon May Have Gotten Away with One

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

Jason Koon opened the action from middle position to 350. The gentleman in the cutoff, unaware of Koon's raise, announced his intention to raise and threw in 450. With some help from the dealer and Layne Flack, he put out 550 chips and the action folded back to Koon. With 3,950 behind, he moved all in and his opponent folded {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} face up. Although a little confused and apparently a little relieved, Koon raked in the pot.

"Wow!" Flack said, "What did you have there, ace-jack?" addressing Koon.

He nodded and smiled, "I would have got there."

Not to worry though. The man who held {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} ran his {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} into {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} the next hand and stacked a player who had a bigger stack than Koon anyway.
