Koon Crushes Opponent

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

A short-stacked opponent moved all in over a raise from Jason Koon, and the action folded back to Koon who reached for chips to call.

"I have a pretty one, buddy," Koon told his opponent.

Koon tabled {j-Spades}{10-Spades}, and was very much alive against his opponent's {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. The {2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{j-Hearts} flop propelled him into the lead, and the turn and river bricked {9-Diamonds}, {6-Spades} respectively.

Table 47 is now four-handed, with Koon, Tristan Wade, and two others looking to advance to Day 2.
