Jason Koon Eliminated in 2nd Place ($1,817,000)
Jason Koon limped the button and Masashi Oya checked his option in the big blind to bring out the 9♦7♥5♦ flop.
Both players checked through to see the turn bring the 8♣.
Oya paused before reaching for chips and making a bet worth 1,000,000. Koon made the call and watched as the river brought the 4♠.
Oya jammed, putting Koon to a decision for his tournament life. Koon stood up and talked his way through the hand while he pondered his action, stating that he had a six for a straight but that he believed Oya to hold the 10x6x for the nut straight.
"I started the hand with 20 big blinds and I'm thinkin' about folding a straight. That's... that's obnoxious, isn't it?", Koon said.
Eventually, he would say, "I hope we're chopping" as he put in the call and turned up Q♠6♥ only to see Oya turn over the 10♣6♣ for a tournament ending straight that sent Koon to the rail in second place for $1,817,000.
