Double or Nothing for Kroon

[user66118]

"P0ker H0"

Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon was on top of the mountain, having held 50,000 at one point early in the day. Things have been sliding all night for him though, and he recently found himself back under his starting stack of 10,000.

From early position, he came in with a raise to 4,000 -- nearly half his stack. The betting came around to the big blind who moved all in, having Kroon covered. "H0" put his last 5,375 into the middle and turned over {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

. His opponent held {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

.

The dealer spread out the community cards: {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

-- safe for Kroon. With his kings holding, he dragged in a much-needed pot and has clawed his way back up over 20,000.
