High Roller: Jason Koon vs. Erik Seidel

$50,000 High Roller Turbo (Re-Entry)
Level 12: 4,000/8,000 with a 1,000 Ante
Players Remaining: 11 of 21

Action at the outer table was fairly passive in the first level back from dinner, with Jason Koon and Erik Seidel driving most of the sparse action.

The two were involved in a pot of a bit more significance early in the new level, and it began with action folding to Koon’s small blind. He completed, Seidel raised to 24,000, and Koon called the remainder.

The flop was Qc3c3s. Koon checked, Seidel continued for 15,000, and Koon called. The turn was the 5s, and Koon check-called another 37,000. The river was the Td, and Koon checked for a third time. Seidel bet what looked like 85,000, committing most of his stack to the bet. Koon double-checked his cards and quickly folded, and Seidel won the pot with no showdown.

Erik Seidel – 275,000 (34 bb)
Jason Koon – 375,000 (47 bb)
