Jason Koon Dominates Bellagio High Roller Events and Wins Nearly $3/4 Million

Jason "jakoon1985" Koon put on quite a show this weekend at Bellagio after he nearly took down two $25,000 buy-in High Roller events.

According to Poker Telegraph, after taking down the first $25,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em event for $412,800, Koon had a deep run also in the second $25,000 event of the weekend, eventually bowing out in second place for $333,747.

Koon earned a combined $746,547 and has now almost $6,5 million in total live tournament earnings. He also won the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open for $1 million earlier this year, making 2016 his best year on the tournament circuit so far.

Koon, who is also known to be an avid fitness enthusiast, complained on Twitter earlier this week after being exposed to secondhand smoke while playing at Bellagio:

Much love to the tourney staff @BellagioPoker but the smoke makes it nearly impossible to play multiple days here. I feel Ill everyday.
