Seat 7: Jason “jakoon1985” Koon, 31, Weston, West Virginia, USA - 2,305,000
Jason Koon is a 31-year-old professional poker player from Weston, West Virginia. He’s only been playing live tournament poker since 2008, a year in which he earned just less than $2,000 from the game. Since then, he’s gone on to earn more than $6 million, with nearly half of that coming during a career-best year in 2016. And a half-million of that has been won right here at Atlantis resort, including near misses in the $10,000 Main Event and $25,000 High Roller in consecutive years. Koon has quickly become a fixture in the richest poker events in the world, widely feared as one of the most dangerous players in any given tournament he enters.
