Chutes and Ladders

For the second time in two days, Mark Kroon has climbed to the top of the ladder and then fallen all the way back down the chute.

Early in the day, Kroon doubled up three times to move himself into the Top 10 in chips, but just one hour later, he found himself on the outside looking in. The final blow came when he was short-stacked and moved all in for 6,500 pre-flop. Mario Bonanata called him down from the small blind, putting Kroon at risk of elimination.

Kroon: {7-Clubs} {9-Clubs}
Bonanata: {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}

The flop came {J-Spades} {5-Spades} {8-Diamonds}, and the {6-Spades} on the turn gave Kroon the nine-high straight. Unfortunately for him, a fourth spade, the {9-Spades}, dropped on fifth street, and Bonanata made the king-high flush. Kroon wished the table luck and loped slowly towards the exit.
