Foxen Drills River to Down Koon; Hansen Also Heads Home
Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jason Koon checked from the big blind to Alex Foxen in early position. Foxen then bet the pot of 170,000 on the 8♦Q♠4♣ flop, which Koon called.
The 10♠ turn prompted Koon to lead with a pot-sized bet of 510,000. Foxen quickly put his opponent all in, and Koon called off his remaining 120,000.
Jason Koon: Q♥J♦9♠9♣
Alex Foxen: A♠Q♦J♣3♠
Koon had turned the nuts, but Foxen found a higher straight on the Kx river to send Koon to the exit.
During the hand, Gus Hansen stood up from his seat at another table as he lost his all-in to be eliminated.
