Level 6
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Sam Soverel raised to 17,000 in early position and Zachary Schwartz called on the button. Jason Koon pushed out a raise to 85,000 in the big blind, leaving just 1,000 behind. Soverel got out of the way but Schwartz elected to call.
The flop came J♥9♠8♣ and the two players stuck in the rest of the chips and tabled their hands. Schwartz was out front with K♣J♠ but Koon had outs with A♦10♥. The Q♥ on the turn gave Koon a straight and held on through the 5♠ on the river in order to double up.
