Jason Koon
Jason Koon

Elton Tsang limped and Jason Koon three-bet all in for 1,355,000. Tsang called putting Koon at risk.

Jason Koon: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Elton Tsang: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The flop {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} improved Koon to a set, but the flop also gave Tsang a gutshot straight draw.

The turn {9-Hearts} took away one of his outs, with Koon holding the king of hearts. The river was the {6-Diamonds} and Koon doubled up.
