Koon Leaves Himself With Crumbs, Busted Soon After

Level 4 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jason Koon
Jason Koon

Action was picked up with Jason Koon in the midst of a decision on the river with the board reading {2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. The pot had about 53,000 in the middle and Koon was facing a river bet of 25,000 from Julien Martini.

Koon sat back and ate his dinner while taking his time with the decision as it was for most of his remaining stack of about 32,000. He checked his cards a few times in between bites and said he had a pretty good hand.

Eventually, he called by placing the chips closer to Martini's stack than to the middle as if to say he knew he was giving the chips away. Sure enough, Martini showed the {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} which was the winner as Koon mucked and was left with a couple of blinds.

Shortly afterwards, he got all-in in late position against an early position opponent.

Jason Koon: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

"This is not the flip I want to win," Koon said as the board ran out {3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and he was busted.
