Joe McKeehen Eliminated in 12th Place
Action folded to Jason Koon on the button, and he opened to 25,000. Joe McKeehen was in the small blind, and he 3-bet to 81,000 with 10,000 behind. Koon called.
The board fell [JdTd2c], and McKeehen moved all-in, and Koon called.
McKeehen: [Ah4h]
Koon: [Qd5d]
The turn [4d] completed Koon’s flush, and McKeehen was drawing dead before the [9d] river completed the board.
With McKeehen’s elimination, only Andrew Lichtenberger and Sam Soverel are in contention to win the U.S. Poker Open Championship.
