Koon Bows Out as Penultimate Bubble Boy

Level 17 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jason Koon
Jason Koon

David Peters raised the button to 100,000 holding the {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and the short-stacked Jason Koon called out of the big with the {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

Koon, who only had 85,000 back, checked the {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop and called a 25,000 bet from Peters.

A resigned Koon then check-called off his last 60,000 on the {7-Hearts} turn. Koon was looking for a ten on the river to stay alive, but it wasn't meant to be as the {3-Spades} peeled off instead.

With that, just one more player needs to leave before the money is made.

Zamani Cracks Aces to Double Through Koon

Level 17 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jason Koon looked down at the {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} in the hijack and raised to 65,000. Martin Zamani defended the big blind with the {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and then shoved his last 265,000 all in after flopping an open-ender on the {8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop.

Koon made a quick call but was turned dead when the {4-Hearts} gave Zamani the straight. The meaningless {2-Diamonds} was run out on the river and Zamani shipped the double.

Bonomo Flops a Flush to Double Through Tilston

Level 17 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Justin Bonomo raised under the gun preflop with the {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and called a three-bet from Keith Tilston, who was in the hijack with the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

Bonomo checked when he flopped a flush on the {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop and called off when Tilston jammed. The turn was a brick that left Tilston drawing dead and he dropped out of seven-figure territory.

River Diamond Keeps Peters Alive

Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

David Peters raised under the gun holding the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Martin Zamani defended his big blind with the {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}.

The {q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop had action written all over it and Zamani checked to Peters, who continued for 35,000. Zamani quickly check-raised to 125,000 and then called when Peters shipped for 545,000 total.

Zamani's two pair held on the {4-Spades} turn, but the {k-Diamonds} spiked on the river to give Peters the flush and the win.

With that, Peters hope of winning the overall series championship remains alive.
