Jason Koon raised to 90,000 on the button and called when Gabor Szabo three-bet to 410,000.

On the {7-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop, Szabo continued for 600,000 and Koon called to see the {k-Clubs} turn, which both players checked.

On the {8-Hearts} river, Szabo checked for the second time and Koon quickly checked back.

Szabo tabled the {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and Koon mucked.

Szabo Wins Another Showdown Pot

Level 55 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

Jason Koon clawed back some chips throughout a series of small pots but all the profit from these vanished when Gabor Szabo raked in the next bigger pot.

It was Koon who opened to 90,000 and Szabo called to then check the {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop. Koon continued for 60,000 and Szabo then check-raised to 250,000, picking up a call from Koon. The {5-Spades} followed on the turn and Szabo check-called a bet worth 225,000.

Both players checked the {k-Spades} on the river and Szabo earned the pot with the {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} for a pair of jacks.

Szabo Opens Bigger Lead

Level 56 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Jason Koon was successful with a check-raise on the {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop as Gabor Szabo forfeited his continuation bet of 100,000. However, the next two pots went to Szabo who continued the trend of claiming the bigger pots in this heads-up duel.

Koon opened to 140,000 for Szabo to call and both players checked the {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop. Szabo bet the {4-Spades} turn for 100,000 and the {j-Clubs} river for 350,000. Koon called both bets and mucked when Szabo flipped over the {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for a rivered pair of jacks.

"What did you have?" Szabo inquired when Koon was still holding onto his cards.

"Ace king of spades," Koon replied.

Jason Koon raised to 320,000 out of the big blind and Gabor Szabo limp-called to see a flop of {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Koon continued for 400,000 and Szabo called to then call another 850,000 on the {2-Diamonds} turn. That set up the triple barrel for Koon, who then jammed the {9-Clubs} river.

"Can you count it please?" Szabo inquired.

The shove was for 1,279,000 in total. After spending more than four minutes in the tank, Szabo folded and Koon nearly closed the gap. The hand itself lasted five minutes in the new level.

Szabo Flushes Koon

Level 57 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

With approximately 400,000 in the pot and a board reading {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-Spades}, Jason Koon bet 200,000 and was met by a raise to 900,000 from Gabor Szabo.

Koon pondered for a bit before flicking in a single chip to call, and that prompted Szabo to roll over the {k-Spades}{2-Spades} for a runner-runner spade flush.

It was good as Koon mucked.
