Koon Check-Raises the Turn

Level 7 : 150/300, 50 ante

Sitting in the big blind, pro Jason Koon watched a player in middle position raise the action to 600, and after engaging in a bit of banter, he decided to call and see a flop.

"That's more you..." offered Koon at the sight of the cowboy.

The other player took the bait and fired out a bet of 600, but Koon quickly pumped it up to 2,600, the smile he had worn throughout the hand now long gone.

His opponent studied for a moment before taking the hint, and his cards went sailing into the muck,
