Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Jason Koon
Jason Koon

From middle position, Raphael Bilger limped in before Jason Koon raised to 1,800 from a few seats over. Bilger came along with a call.

The dealer fanned a monotone 9♣3♣5♣ flop, and Bilger check-called Koon's continuation-bet of 1,200.

Both players checked the A♣ turn before the 5♥ completed the board. Bilger led out for 4,000, sending Koon, who had just 5,200 behind, into the tank.

Koon mulled it over for a while before eventually deciding to fold, surrendering the pot to Bilger.
