Big Slick Does the Trick for Koon

Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

In the hand after Sean Winter busted, Jason Koon moved all in for 300,000 on the button and Keith Tilston called from the small blind. Chris Hunichen then folded pocket fives face up from the big.

Tilston: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Koon: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

It was a flip but Koon needed to improve to stay alive. He didn't do it on the {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Spades} flop nor {5-Hearts} turn, a card that would've given Hunichen a full house.

Fortunately for Koon, the {a-Spades} spiked on the river to give him the winner and new life.
