Shak Takes a Chunk From Koon With Aces
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action was picked up on the flop in a three-bet pot between Jason Koon on the button and the big blind Dan Shak. There was roughly 27,500 in the pot and the board showing J♠2♦2♠.
After the flop Koon called a bet of 10,000 from Shak.
The turn brought the Q♦ and Koon again called a bet from Shak, this time for 25,000.
Both players checked after the K♣ on the river. Shak tabled A♥A♣ to take the pot, as Koon tapped the table and tossed his cards in the muck. He then told Shak "The ace of diamonds would have been the end of me".
