Koon on the Board

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

Jason Koon opened to 11,000 from under the gun and was called by Gruffudd Pugh-Jones in the big blind.

Pugh-Jones checked the 3♣8♠Q♥ flop before Koon bet 14,000. Pugh-Jones hung around with a call.

The 9♣ turn led to another check from Pugh-Jones before Koon bet 45,000. Pugh-Jones called the turn bet to bring the 4♠ river before he checked once again.

The river did not deter Koon, who fired a third barrel for 120,000. Pugh-Jones flicked in the call and was shown the bad news when Koon tabled Q♠J♥10♠10♦ for a straight to scoop up a healthy pot.
