“I’ve dedicated my entire life to being very good at this game. Every person in here is trying to win. It’s not like these guys have been around for 2 or 3 years. You’re talking to guys who have multiple decades of resumes, and somehow, we’re still here, and we’re playing the biggest game and winning. It’s amazing,” said Koon to PokerNews after the win.
This marks Jason Koon’s second WSOP bracelet, adding to his 2021 victory in the prestigious $25,000 Heads-Up Championship, where he defeated Gabor Szabo in the finals.
“It’s all possible because of her. Stumbling home at 1 a.m. after bagging to wake up and help me get ready and not expect much from me. On days when poker is slow for me, I am all in as being a dad and try to pick up the slack the best that I can. But without her, I couldn’t do any of this,” Koon also added about how much his wife helps him.

The Heads-Up
Coming into the heads-up, even with all the eliminations, Lichtenberger was still a 2:1 underdog in chips but still had plenty to turn things around and take the title; nothing was over yet.
After one hour of heads-up battle, the last hand happened when Lichtenberger shoved his short stack from BTN, and Koon called in BB. Lichtenberger was ahead with A♠10♦ against Koon’s K♦Q♠, but this time board 2♠K♥J♥8♦7♣ decided that Koon is the new champion, eliminating Lichtenberger in second place for $1,312,610.
