€2,000,000 Pot Leaves Him In SHOCK!

Think of all the things you could buy if you won €2,000,000 from one hand of poker. Well, either Jason Koon or Kane Kalas will have the chance to go on a shopping spree after they find themselves in a gigantic pot during a Triton Poker high stakes cash game. Jason Koon had to decide on the river whether to move all-in for value or check back after he rivers top pair. What do you think the poker legend will do?

When you are not a regular player in a live cash game, and you are playing relatively tightly, remember that players will generally overfold against you. Therefore, 3-betting medium pairs like nines or tens might only result in your opponents folding the weakest part of their range, which you crush. However, when they do decide to continue, they more than likely have a very tight range which may dominate you.

Jason Koon is a 38 year old professional poker player from America. He has over $56,000,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 3 on the all-time money list.

Triton Poker was founded in 2015 by Paul Phua and Richard Yong; their aim was to attract a healthy mixture of recreational poker players and seasoned poker professionals. Part of what makes the Triton Series so special is that it’s open to a wide range of poker players – not just a select few. They envisioned Triton as a series of poker events providing excellent entertainment value for audiences passionate about poker. Some of the most famous poker players to have appeared at Triton events have been Phil Ivey ‘RaiseOnce’, Tom Dwan ‘Durrr’, Patrick Antonius ‘The Finn’, Michael Addamo ‘imluckbox’, Chris Brewer, Jason Koon ‘JAKoon1985’, Tony G, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman’, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’, Stephen Chidwick ‘stevie444’, Linus Loeliger ‘LLinusLLove’, Isaac Haxton ‘philivey2694’, Mikita Badziakouski ‘fish2013’, Timofey Kuznetsov ‘Trueteller’ and many more.

🔍 Preflop:
Jason Koon raises to €11,000 with AQo from the hijack. Mikita Badziakouski calls with 98 of clubs from the small blind before Kane Kalas 3-bet squeezes to €55,000 out of the big blind with pocket tens. Koon decides to 4-bet to €120,000, which forces a fold from Badziakouski with his suited connector. Kalas sticks around with a call, and two players head to the flop.

💸 Flop - 6s 5d 3h:
Kalas remains ahead with an overpair on the low-connected flop. After he checks, Koon fires out a continuation bet of €128,000. Kalas throws in the call and they head to the turn with over half a million euros in the middle.

💣 Turn - Tc:
The T of clubs on the turn upgrades Kalas’ overpair to a set and the effective nuts. He checks, and Koon continues the aggression with a second barrel of €160,000. Kalas decides to slowplay and just call, perhaps hoping to keep all of Koon’s bluffs in.

🌊 River - Ad:
The river is a disaster for Koon as he has now paired his ace. Kalas sets the trap by checking to Koon. Koon now has to decide whether to check it back or go for value.
