Koon Squats Esfandiari ... Literally

Chad Holloway

Level 20 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Blake Bohn raised from early position and then called when Jason Koon three-bet all in from the button for 720,000.

Bohn:
Koon:

Like we've seen so many times this evening, it was a flip. Koon was the one at risk, so he was understandably excited when the flop paired his king and gave him a commanding lead. In fact, Koon, who is a documented fitness nut, was so excited that he literally picked up Antonio Esfandiari, put him on his shoulders and did three squats.

The turn and river kept Koon in the lead, and when after he put Esfandiari back on the ground, he returned to twice as many chips as he'd had just a moment before.

Jason Koon	1,540,000 820,000	820,000
