Binder Keeps Koon Honest

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With roughly 17,000 in the pot, Ben Heath checked from the big blind on a 6♠K♥2♣ flop. Jason Koon bet 4,000 from under the gun, which Bernhard Binder called from the hijack before Heath got out of the way.

The action was checked through on the 3♥ turn, tempting Koon to stab the 3♠ river for 25,000. Binder made the call, and when Koon tabled Q♣10♠ for just queen-high, Binder flipped over his 7♠7♦ to claim the pot.
