Koon Snap-Folds With Great Odds

Nível 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

After a preflop open on his right, Jason Koon made it 9,000 to go preflop and got calls from Huidong Gu in the cutoff and the opener. Everyone checked the flop, and Koon bet 11,000 on the turn. Only Gu called, and Koon asked to see Gu's stack on the river. He bet 20,000, and Gu quickly jammed for only 4,500 more. Koon didn't even consider the odds, folding instantly.

EPT Founder Falls in Waning Minutes of Level 10

Nível 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We just lost EPT founder John Duthie.

We missed the action, but we do know Duthie got his last chips all in on a flop and was at risk against Artur Koren.

The turn changed nothing, but the river did as Koren made the nuts to eliminate the living legend.
