Koon Flops a Set and Busts
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Carlos Leiva opened to 55,000 from middle position before Jason Koon made it 120,000 from the button. Tim van Loo went into the tank from the big blind before folding. Leiva put Koon all in and the latter called off his stack of 530,000.
Jason Koon: K♣K♠
Carlos Leiva: 10♣10♦
Koon was way ahead and improved to a set on the A♦K♦Q♠ flop, leaving his opponent drawing to Broadway or runner-runner quads.
The 8♠ turn was a brick, but the J♥ river completed Leiva's straight and Koon's Main Event journey came to an end.
