Koon Busts; Hwang Vaults Into Chip Lead

Jason Koon opened to 1,300 before the flop and was three-bet to 3,100 by Sean Hwang. Koon four-bet to 7,100 and Hwang called.

The flop was {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Koon shipped all in for his last 24,500. Hwang quickly called and the hands were shown:

Koon: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Hwang: {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Koon's ace-high was ahead but Hwang was drawing live and looking for a pair or a straight. The {3-Spades} turned and the {7-Diamonds} rivered, giving Hwang his straight and sending Koon packing just before dinner.

"He calls 24k with jack-high," said a dejected Koon as he walked away from the table to talk with Scott Clements.
