After the button and blinds fold, Koon calls with his pair, but Zang folds his suited one-gapper, and the two titans of poker head to the flop.

💸 Flop - Kc 6d 5s:
It’s a dream flop for Koon, who flops middle set on this king-high board. He checks to the preflop aggressor, Brewer, who fires a continuation bet of $15,000. Opting to slow play, Koon just calls to see a turn.

💣 Turn - 7c:
