Seidel Doubles Through Koon
Level 18
: 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Jason Koon used the nearby money bubble to increase his stack by quite some and Jason Mercier followed suit. Then, Koon raised the pot to 56,000 in the cutoff and short stack Mike Leah on the button gave it some thought before folding. Erik Seidel three-bet the pot in the small blind, forcing a fold from the next short stack, Kyle Bowker in the big blind.
Koon called and the flop fell 
, Seidel moved all in for 188,000 and Koon called.
Erik Seidel: 
Jason Koon: 
The 
on the turn immediately improved Seidel to a winning full house, and that made the 
river a formality.
