$3,500 Championship No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 17: 2,500/5,000/500 Ante

A seismic shift in chips just took place as a 600,000 chip pot went the way of Jason Koon and sent Scott Efron out the door – voluntarily.

As the hand was recounted, a flop of brought a 25,000 bet from Efron and a call from Koon.  The came on the turn.  Efron bet another 25,000, Koon raised to 85,000 and then Efron pushed his 300,000 chip stack into the middle.  Koon made the call and after the cards were turned up, Efron showed for a set of aces but Koon had in the hole for the flush.  The on the river brought no help and Koon’s victory now propels him and his 640,000 chips stack among the top totals in the tournament.

Efron did still have 6,500 in chips left going into his big blind but decided to let them go and was officially eliminated two hands later.

With that, we’re off to Level 18 of this championship event.
