Jason Koon Breaks Down Biggest Cash Game Poker Pot

💥 Jason Koon was not involved in just one of the biggest televised cash game poker pots of all time, but TWO of them during Triton Montenegro 2018. The first one of €1.8m Euro didn't go so well for the Triton Poker Ambassador, but not long after he took down a massive €2.1m Euro pot.
🧠 Koon explains to Triton host Peter Latham what was going through his mind and why he played the way he did in the €2.1m Euro pot hand.

Jason seems like a legit good dude. I was happy to see him win this huge pot after losing the huge pot to Kane Kalas earlier in the session. Always cool to hear the thought process of the nosebleed stakes crushers like Jason Koon.

[@jsr9422]

You should go and marry him

[@mailentrout7510]

jason koon is the healthiest looking poker pros out there

[@joeingram1]

Very nice breakdown by Jason. Thanks for the content.

[@rc5989]

Triton content is best content.

[@Jackalopemusic]

Most breakdowns do not impress me. Well Thought out J Koon

[@unnecessaryusername784]

I watched the whole thing. I can easily say Koon was tilting because he lost 900K (his entire stack) in a previous hand. he re buy in and decided to chase this draw. the tilting factor played a huge part in this hand.

[@valuablesandwich]

6:40 I love and appreciate Jason's look of gratitude toward the dealer here 😂 cannot imagine how much he tipped this dealer.

[@partypokerLIVE]

great video! Really interesting insight from Jason.

[@marcusrakyat8891]

Triton video is the best as interview the player and we get 1st hand explanation.

[@ww2079]

7:14 "I'm definitely a human" Thanks for clearing that up!

[@prayingmantis6777]

Very nice humble player.

[@CharlesUFarley778]

Jason is an absolute beast

[@Jonas-mf2xu]

Great content and very interesting insigths.

[@lMashingMashMash]

Do you reckon Phua's 'set hunting' comment is balanced?

[@dannyb1379]

it better be

[@JohnSmith-su3ze]

Probably yes. Phua is saying that with AA and actual pocket pairs

[@Jojoz1]

Um.. on the River Elton has to win 1 in 5 times to break even, not 1 in 4 times as Koon is saying, correct?

[@vishrantgoyal8225]

yes, btw, being a little more precise, pot odds are more like 1:3.5, as opposed to 1:4.

[@Epic11121]

7:53 lol poor Ivey

[@simon459]

Great content

[@pyronetic9613]

It doesn't count at a 2.1 million pot. It's 1.5mil cause Elton folded.

[@loyalline]

Yeah, it would have been a $2.7M pot considering he called...😬

[@richardkaye8396]

What about Axhh?

[@lightonstillwaters6789]

Thank you Triton, thank you JK!

[@fitnesstoffer2703]

Dont forget the 5% Rake to partypoker he has to pay. 75.000 € Rake taken in this pot.

[@EricSmyth4Christ]

Pretty standard outside the flop check

[@Josh-zw9bj]

jason could also have 69hh or 69dd as well, lots of missed draws by the river...what a sick fucking hand

[@6bt_str864]

Straight up cat. He's the kinda guy you'd wanna go bow hunting with. Run good! JC.

[@alphalunamare]

7:48 is worth viewing.

[@FlashRyu]

1 card away from being stuck 1.6 million. He wins instead

[@MrNikosnik]

So a river bet of 100-200k$ would of probably been called ^✓^

[@user-pk3jn7zi2h]

cooooool koooooon

[@ww2079]

Woulda been funny if Koon bet like 40k on the river. That's obviously a I give up check there with little intention in calling a jam on the river.

[@justamangoddamn]

Dude who are you?

[@faisalchattha6257]

More Jason kooon....

[@lailaready1851]

To bad that wasn’t the 4 of diamonds.

[@kaidesu5251]

Thick the correct play is to jam turn. You’re not going to get any more value if you hit your hand. You could get better hands to fold.

[@boloisretratado4408]

Lucky river

[@philhellmuff]

Is this small stakes for Elton or does it just seem like it to me? It just looks like he has all the money in the world and doesn't mind putting max pressure on people with less money.

[@f_bricated]

It's not small stakes for Elton but he regularly plays larger stakes and has gotten to those stakes with his aggressive playstyle

[@andrewkang2697]

Uhm, it's not small stakes but he plays the biggest games in Macau and is considered to be the biggest winner in live cash games ever. Jason Koon has mentioned Elton is a much larger winner than Phil Ivey, Tom Dawn, etc. He built most of his net worth through poker so he knows what he is doing. And since his net worth is really big, he is also able to put on the pressure against American or European pros that probably sold a lot of action to be in those games. I'm sure Elton has all of himself in the televised cash games you see him in.

[@kcc1762]

@@andrewkang2697 I would bet he doesn't have all of himself. Also, I would bet Ivey has more of himself than Elton does.

[@leclubber]

As played, he should have aggressively merged his polarized opponent range on the turn to make his decision the most gto possible on the river by having a spr of 0.6 due to him not being rfi pre though he should have Pio'd the hand on his last time bank extension to verify if he had indeed room to make his 6 high a value bluff knowing that he was never overfolding vs a semi-reg in that precise spot and that it was no-brainer +chip EV check. Therefore he could have completed his PG&C and then made a sick post in BBV.

[@mero40k]

Koon is brilliant but hes full of it when he says it's a "sneaky little hand", there are several reasons hes opening 65s utg here...

[@alanwang7721]

wtf is elton doing. He always shows the face like he is not bluffing but wondering why the other person raised when he has the nuts. So fking annoying

[@mishifu2020]

his was chasing river, got luck, bad play.
