Koon Doubles Through Smith to Assume Chip Lead
Level 14
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Dan Smith opened to 80,000 from middle position and action folded to Jason Koon in the big blind, who three-bet to 450,000. Smith shoved and Koon called off for 2.85 million.
Dan Smith: 
Jason Koon: 
A chop seemed all but certain, but 
flop gave Koon a backdoor flush draw.
The 
turn improved Koon to a front door draw, and the 
river completed Koon's flush — vaulting him to 5.7 million in chips for the current chip lead
