Jason Koon Runs Into Cyrus Farzad's Set

After a flop of [Qd9h3c], Jason Koon checks the big blind, and chipleader Cyrus Farzad checks from the hijack.

The turn is the [10d], Koon bets 47,000, Farzad raises to 200,000, and Koon calls.

The river is the [8d], and both players check. Koon shows [KhQh] for a pair of queens, but Farzad turns over [9c9s] to win the pot with a set of nines. 

Cyrus Farzad  –  3,650,000  (228 bb)
Jason Koon  –  560,000  (35 bb)

As Farzad stacks the pot, Koon says, "Every showdown we go to, you show a set or better." Koon then speaks directly to Farzad across the table, saying, "If you bet the flop, I go broke. That’s how good I’m running."

Jason Koon described the hand on Twitter:

Defended KQhh from bb v Aggro player flop K93h plan to c/r play for stacks. He checked back with 99. I’m still here. #runninggood
