Koon Doesn't Barrel Turn
Level 20
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski had 
on the button, raising to 75,000. Jason Koon peeled a very defendable 
in the big blind and called.
The 
flop brought something for everyone. Koon checked to Badziakouski who priced his middle pair at 65,000. Koon fired back, check-raising his open-ender to 215,000. Badziakouski, however, wasn't willing to back off and called.
The 
massively improved Koon's draw. He reached to his stack but then hanged his mind and tapped. Badziakouski checked back to see the 
hit the river.
Koon picked up some showdown value and checked but he couldn't beat Badziakouski who checked back and took down the pot.
