Jason Koon used a mix of skill and luck to ship his first WSOP bracelet on Thursday night.
There were two hands, in particular, he won against Gabor Szabo in the Event #11: $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship finale that propelled him to victory.
Koon won $243,981 after conquering six straight matches. In the semifinals, he defeated 21-year-old online crusher Henri "buttonclickr" Puustinen, which brought him one step away from his first gold bracelet in his 57th bracelet event cash.
Szabo, on the other hand, had just one prior WSOP cash, a second-place finish in 2019 in the Event #7: WSOP.
