Eskenazi Forces Out Koon in Four-Way Pot
Level 10
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Four players saw a flop of 9♠4♠9♦ as John Hennigan bet 40,000 from the hijack and Scott Eskenazi called on the button. Jason Koon, in the small blind, then raised to 95,000 and big blind Justin Liberto got out of the way.
Hennigan also folded, but Eskenazi stuck around to see the K♦ turn. Koon slowed down and checked before Eskenazi fired out 115,000. Koon flung his cards up in the air and into the muck as Eskenazi took down the pot.
"Did I want a spade," he asked Eskenazi. Tablemate Bin Weng claimed he saw the 10♣ in Koon's hand when he mucked.
"You did see a black ten," Koon replied.
