Urgently Needed Double for Koon

Christian Zetzsche

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The camera crews were waiting nearby when Jason Koon pushed for 7,100 in the hijack. All players behind folded to Kent Lacob in the big blind who reluctantly called.

"Do you have king-queen?" Koon asked.

Lacob replied, "no, much worse."

Jason Koon: A♦3♦ All in
Kent Lacob: J♦9♣

The lead of Koon became shakier on the 8♣7♦6♠ flop but he held up thanks to the Q♥ turn and Q♦ river.
