Koon First to Hit the Rail

Level 4 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jason Koon
Jason Koon

Jason Koon raised to 20,000 in the cutoff and was called by Sam Soverel in the small blind. Stephen Chidwick re-raised to 115,000 from the big blind and only Koon called.

The flop came {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Chidwick continued with a bet of 80,000 which Koon called. The turn was the {4-Hearts} and Chidwick checked this time. Koon fired out a bet of 325,000 and Chidwick used a time bank before calling.

The {5-Clubs} hit the river and Chidwick instantly checked. Koon shoved all in for around 1,100,000 and Chidwick snapped him off. Koon showed {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a flush but Chidwick held {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the nut flush.

After the chips were counted, Chidwick had 1,139,000 left on the river which barely covered Koon's stack, sending him to the rail.
