Koon Calls Out Kulev's Hand, Calls, and Busts
Level 10
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action picked up on the turn with the board reading 9♦6♦2♣J♣ in a hand between Alex Kulev from middle position and Jason Koon in the cutoff with around 190,000 in the middle already.
Kulev checked to Koon who bet 65,000 before Kulev jammed for 575,000 effective as the slightly covering stack.
"You have kings, don't you?" Koon lamented as he put in the call for his tournament life.
Jason Koon: Q♦J♦ 
Alex Kulev: K♠K♥
Koon held top pair and a flush draw against the aforementioned kings of Kulev. Koon had fourteen outs to win but he could not find one on the 5♣ river as he was eliminated in a massive pot to the hands of Kulev who has moved well over seven figures.
