Jason Koon has taken his seat in Amazon Orange and he's looking to add a deep run in the Main Event to an already red-hot 2021. The accomplished professional finally won his first WSOP gold bracelet in this year's $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em Heads-Up Championship and crossed $30 million in lifetime earnings after a big Summer on the high roller circuit.

Koon raised to 800 from the button and a player in the small blind three-bet to 1,800. Koon called and the flop was {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}.

Both players checked the flop and the turn was {q-Spades}. The player in the small blind fired 2,100 and Koon flat-called.

The river was {9-Spades} and both players checked. Koon turned over {a-Spades}{3-Spades} to take the pot while his opponent mucked {a-}{k-}.

Mulders Forces Fold

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with the board reading {4-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Edwin Yancey made a bet 27,000 into a pot of about the same size.

Daan Mulders moved all in which would force Yancey to commit the rest of his chips but Yancey folded fairly quickly and Mulders took down the nice pot as he has had a solid start to the day, almost doubling his stack thus far.
