In the sixth episode of The Chad & Jesse Poker Show, Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen are joined by GGPoker Ambassador Jason Koon, who took some time before jumping into the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $250,000 Super High Roller.
Koon talks about expecting his second child, and as fate would have it, the day after recording his wife went into labor and he had to pull out of the aforementioned tournament. In addition to sharing what it's like being a family man, Koon discusses integrity in poker, his personal goals, and a never-before-shared prop bet he has with Bill Perkins.
Koon, who currently sits fifth on the all-time poker money list according to The Hendon Mob with nearly $48 million, also discusses his love of poker history, shares a Doyle Brunson story, and just opens up about poker and life. Don't miss your chance to hear from one of the best.
The players have been sent on the second 20-minute break of the day. Play will restart with blinds at 300/500 with a 500 big blind ante.
A player from middle position opened to 800 before Chance Kornuth three-bet to 1,600 from the hijack. Leonardo Castro four-bet to 4,500, folding out the player in middle position. Kornuth thought for a moment before putting in a five-bet to 8,400.
The banter at this table had been jovial for the last few levels, and Kornuth exchanged a look with his opponent before they both broke out in laughter. Castro put in a six-bet all in after a moment of consideration.
Kornuth let out an expletive and mucked his cards as Castro scooped a nice pot without having to see a flop.
"That was the first six-bet pot I've seen since 2004" a player at the table joked.

Three players went to a flop of 6♣4♣3♠ and Steven Buckner made a bet of 2,000 on the button. The big blind called and another player check-raised to 7,000. Buckner called and the big blind got out of the way.
The turn was the 5♠ and Buckner was faced with an all-in of 13,200 which he snap called. Buckner tabled 8♣7♣ for a straight with flush redraw and his opponent held Q♣9♣ for a bigger flush draw. The river was the K♣ and Buckner slammed the table after getting outdrawn.
"They're f***ing awful, cuz," Buckner shouted.

Action was picked up just before the flop. A player was all-in from the big blind against Todd Hansen from the cutoff who covered his opponent.
Big Blind: A♣K♠
Todd Hansen: J♣J♠
"Jack one time!" Hansen announced before the flop came 8♣J♥4♦. Hansen got up from his seat and seemed more excited about calling the jack than winning the pot. The 3♠ turn and 3♣ river were inconsequential, Hansen secured the elimination and was awarded a nice pot.
As he scooped up his chips his table mates jokingly reminded him that he had used up his one time early in the tournament and that he might be in trouble because of it later on.
