Peanut butter and jelly. Cheese and crackers. Biscuits and gravy. Bacon and eggs. May as well put Jason Koon winning high-roller events on that list.

Koon again showed why he is one of the best high-stakes tournament poker players in the Universe at the World Series of Poker yesterday by winning the $50,000 High Roller event which came with the largest prize of the summer so far — $1,968,927.

The 8-handed event attracted 171 entries who built a prize pool of $8.1 million. Koon has taken his foot off the pedal in recent years since he started a family, but you wouldn’t know it from his results. In 2025, he’s cashed a dozen times and is coming off a $3.4 million score for winning the $157,500 Triton Super High Roller event in Montenegro only a few weeks ago.

If that wasn’t enough, he won the $20,000 + 1,200 + 10,000 No Limit Hold’em Quattro Bounty Turbo event, good for another $305,176, in the same series a few days later.

“I just play when I want to now. I’m very committed to that,” said Koon after he won his second WSOP bracelet. “My family’s with me if I travel. So I’m going to travel less, and when I play, I’m going to be on my A-game, and skip some tournaments. And whenever I show up, I’m ready to do the thing.”

Koon’s not only running deep in the highest buy-in tournaments in the world, but he’s beating the top players in the world while doing it.

Runner-up of the nosebleed in Montenegro Ben Tollerene also fell short here, finishing third for $914,634. Tollerene, who pushed his lifetime earnings over $30 million with the cash, recently won a $104,000 buy-in event at the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series in Montenegro for $2,390,000.

Andrew Lichtenberger just missed winning his second WSOP bracelet, but stalled in second-place, which was good for $1,312,610.

Brock Wilson made his 22nd final table at WSOP events — Circuits events included — yet he’s still searching for his first WSOP bracelet. He rounded out the top four ($650,074).

Winning in Las Vegas at the WSOP made it a little more special for Koon.

“I really love (the WSOP)” he Koon. “You know, it’s nostalgia for me. Whenever I was in college, obviously, I was just watching?WSOP?all the time on ESPN, and first time I was here, I remember the buzz and how excited I was, and I still, I come back, and — I may not feel that same buzz anymore — but I see young people here that are excited to play, that makes me really happy.”

The win moved Koon to fourth on the Hendon Mob’s all-time money list, slipping past Mikita Bodyakovsky with $64,113,455.
