Pugh-Jones Eliminated by Koon

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Gruffudd Pugh-Jones
Gruffudd Pugh-Jones

Three ways to the 986J turn with some 175,000 in the middle, Jason Koon checked out of the small blind. Gruffudd Pugh-Jones moved all in with his shorter stack and Eelis Parssinen folded on the button while Koon quickly tossed in three light blue T-100,000 chips for the call.

Gruffudd Pugh-Jones: AQ109 All in
Jason Koon: KQJ10

Both had the queen-high straight but Koon had the flush draw to go with it, which he hit on the 8 river to knock out Pugh-Jones.
