McKeehen Looks Up Koon

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

We found Joe McKeehen considering an all-in wager from Jason Koon. The board was {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, and Koon had set his opponent all in for 11,700, slightly more than the pot. McKeehen commented that he had thought Koon looked like he was going to fold preflop. After thinking it over for about 30 more seconds, he dropped in some chips.

McKeehen: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Koon: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}

McKeehen was ahead, but he had plenty of outs to dodge. The {7-Hearts} wasn't one of them, and the American doubled up.
