Biography

Koon was born in August, 1985 and studied for a Masters in Business Administration and Finance at West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon. He began playing poker in 2006 while at university, and recorded his first WSOP cash in 2009. Koon would cash regularly in Las Vegas during the 2000s, before finishing runner-up in his first WSOP event in 2012 in the $3,000 No Limit Hold’em/Pot Limit Omaha - Heads-Up. However, the breakout result came in 2016 when he won the SHRPO Championship for $1,000,000. Less than six months later, Koon had a second seven-figure score with victory in the PokerStars Championship Super High Roller for $1,650,300. In November 2023, Koon was one of the first sixteen contestants on GGPoker’s reality-TV show Game of Gold.
