Koon Canned

A player in middle position raised, and the cutoff called. The small blind then shoved his small stack in, and it was on Jason Koon, who had 2,125 left. He put the rest of it in, and the original raiser then went all in over the top. The cutoff got out of the way, and the three players flipped their cards up.

Opponent 1: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Small Blind:{k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Koon: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}

Koon seemed optimistic before the flop came out, quoting "The Mighty Ducks," saying ducks fly together. However, the flop didn't provide much help, coming {j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Koon's slim chances turned to no chance when the {q-Clubs} hit the turn. The river brought the {4-Spades}, and Koon was eliminated.
