Koon Hits a Really Lucky River to Deliver a Blow to Gruissem

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jason Koon
Jason Koon

Jason Koon led out with a bet of 35,000 on a flop of {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and Philipp Gruissem raised, making it 80,000. Nich Schulman folded in the cutoff, but Koon called after giving it some thought.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and Koon checked this time. Gruissem put out a bet of 225,000, enough to put Koon all in. Koon tanked his way through two time extensions before he finally decided to call.

Jason Koon: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Philipp Gruissem: {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The river was the {Q-Hearts} and that gave Koon a straight, allowing him to double up to 636,000.
