Koon Cut Down
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jason Koon has been eliminated in 39th place after committing his stack of 430,000 or so with 
and having the misfortune of running up against Remi Castaignon's 
.
The flop came 
, then the 
turn sealed it. Koon stood and watched the dealer put out the meaningless 
river, then waved his hand while requesting a sixth street. "Keep going… ocean," he said with a grin, jokingly asking to keep drawing toward a straight.
After delivering a "good game" to Castaignon and the rest of the table, the last American alive in the tournament departed. Meanwhile, Castaignon now moves into the top five in the counts.
