Koon Keeps Climbing

Laura Fryer
Laura Fryer
Level 7 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jason Koon opened to 35,000 on the button and Youness Barakat called from the big blind.

The 9♥4♥8♥ flop saw both check to the 4♦ turn and Barakat bet 28,000. Koon called and a 5♣ completed the board.

Both made quick checks to showdown and Koon tabled 10♥10♦9♣5♥ for the heart flush. Barakat flashed a four for the set but quickly mucked.
