Lichtenberger's Flush Over Koon's Straight
Level 22
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Andrew Lichtenberger called on the button holding A♥9♥ and Jason Koon checked his option in the big blind with A♦5♠.
The flop rolled out 3♠4♥3♣ and action checked to the 7♥ turn where Koon checked over to Lichtenberger who bet 300,000, which Koon called.
Koon checked the river 2♥ over to Lichtenberger who bet 1,000,000. Koon's retort came in the form of a raise to 4,500,000 and Lichtenberger burned a time extension. Lichtenberger moved all in for 12,800,000 and Koon took off his sunglasses.
After a couple seconds of thought, Koon folded his straight as Lichtenberger narrowed the chip deficit with his flush.
