Koon got off to a slow start this afternoon, cashing in his first lamer after losing most of his starting stack to Simeon Naydenov after four-betting a rag flop only to be forced to fold after Naydenov shoved over the top. This hand left Koon short and he decided to chip himself up. Shortly after, Koon took down a big pot that went to the river after turning trip jacks. PLH Leif Force vs. Julian Powell Julian Powell was the next player to cash in a second lammer, but he did it during the PLO portion of play. Powell got the last of his chips in on the turn with two pair and a gunshot straight draw while Leif Force had already flopped the nut straight. Powell was drawing to a chop and bricked when the river blanked. This hand put force out in front with a 2:1 chip lead (chips in play) and Powell down to one lammer while Force still had both of his. NLH Jason Koon vs. Simeon Naydenov Simeon Naydenov min-raised the button to 32,000, Jason Koon three-bet to 80,000 from the big blind and Naydenov called. The flop came K104, Koon bet 84,000, Naydenov moved all in and Koon called. Koon led on the flop with K8 for top pair against Naydenov’s middle pair with 105.
