Koon Doubles Through Einhorn

Level 13 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Jason Koon moved all in for 1,520,000 in middle position and David Einhorn called in the small blind. The big blind folded and the two hands were tabled with Koon at risk.

Jason Koon: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
David Einhorn: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

It was a coin flip with Koon needing to hold to stay alive. The flop came {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and Einhorn took the lead with a pair of kings. The turn was the {9-Spades} giving Koon a straight draw and the {10-Spades} on the river was just what he was looking for. Koon's straight earned him a double up at the hands of the chipleader.
