H0 Folds Jacks. Supposedly.

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

A player in late position raised to 1,600, and Mark Kroon three-bet to 6,100 from the small blind in an uncounted pile of reraising chips. His opponent responded by shoving all in for 18,675, and Kroon asked for the count. His opponent had his cards in his hand, waiting anxiously to turn them over. Kroon noticed, and he asked the dealer if he could ask if his opponent would show to a fold. The dealer nodded, and Kroon turned to his opponent, chuckling now. "Will you show if I fold?" he went ahead and asked. His opponent shrugged and nodded.

"Oh my god," he said. "He can't even wait to show his hand. I mean, there's no way my hand can be good. But there's no way I can fold, either."

Finally, though, Kroon did talk himself into a fold. True to his word, Mr. Opponent flashed his {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}, and Kroon said that he'd folded two jacks.
