Koon Holding Court
Jason Koon has been getting into the vibe on Day 1A, happily dishing out advice to his tablemates in the Amazon Orange section.
"This is the Main Event, so try to have fun. It gets much more serious later, but this is Day 1 so just try to enjoy it."
Koon had the opportunity to show them how it's done when a player in middle position raised to 800. Another player in the cutoff called and Koon three-bet to 3,500 from the button. The original raiser folded and the player in the cutoff came along.

.
Koon bet 8,000 on the turn and his opponent quickly folded. The newly minted WSOP champion dragged the pot with a smile and continued enjoying his Day 1 of the Main Event.
