Years ago, very likely in 2009, Jason Koon attended what was then the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure for the first time. At the time, he was grinding it out in live satellites just trying to get a seat into the Main Event. Walking out of the venue, he saw Scott Seiver strolling in, headphones on, getting ready for the $25,000 High Roller final table.
The moment sticks in Koon's memory, as he thought to himself at the time that he hoped to one day be playing in those same events. Now, at the PokerStars Championship Bahamas in 2017, Koon has realized the optimistic version of his dream; winning the $100,000 Super High Roller in a field of 54 players to take down a career-best prize of $1,650,300.
