Van Lent Takes From Koon
Level 15
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jason Koon raised to 100,000 from early position, which was called by Anuschka Van Lent in the small blind, and the big blind Derric Haynie.
After the J♣4♦4♥ flop, Van Lent decided to lead out for a bet of 100,000. Haynie folded, and Koon made the call.
The turn brought the 3♦ and Van Lent check-called a bet of 375,000 from Koon.
After the 5♠ on the river, Lent again took the betting lead, firing out 100,000.
Koon used the majority of his time bank and said, "Okay, two-pair, I just call." Van Lent turned over K♠J♥ for two pair, jacks and fours, which was good to take the pot as Koon mucked his hand.
As Van Lent scooped the pot, Koon said, "I almost value-shoved there."
