He's P0ker H0
Level 15
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon raised from the cutoff to 8,700. The small blind reraised to 20,000 and after Kroon called, the 
was dealt. The small blind checked and Kroon moved all in. Kroon was animated waiting for the decision of his opponent, looking at the dealer "did he say call"?
Without missing a beat, the dealer responded: "No. He is sitting on the side with my good ear and I know for sure he didn't say a thing."
In the end, the small blind ended up folding. Kroon allowed his opponent to see one card which was 
. Kroon yelled, "I didn't come to fold fours. Boom."
As Kroon was stacking chips, another player at the table asked how much the small blind reraised preflop. After his reply of 20,000, the player said "You need to raise to 22,000 and then he would fold. Don't you know he's P0ker H0? There is a whole article on how to raise get him to fold."

: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Bill McAdams has had a roller-coaster ride of a tournament, but right now he's riding high. After being down to only two 2,000 in chips when he moved to his current table, he's managed to build quite a stack.
We caught up with McAdams when he got all his chips in the middle with 
on a flop of 
. Unfortunately for McAdams, Joseph Dornish held and had flopped a set. Then the dealer turned the 
, giving McAdams one of his two outs to take the lead again. The river was a brick, and McAdams doubled up.

With a WSOP bracelet already in his trophy case, Robert Cheung is no stranger to poker's grand stage, and here on Day 2 of the Seniors Championship he is moving closer to a shot at his second piece of jewelry.
We just watched Cheung take an opponent who moved all in with

Big Stacks Getting Bigger
Level 15
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Alex Kunichoff and James Miller started the day 1 and 2 in chips, respectively. It looks like they swapped positions with Miller taking a slight lead. They are now sitting just a table apart and Kunichoff is keenly aware of who he is chasing. With the average stack size currently around 60,000, both these players have plenty of play and have assumed their position as table captain.

Aces for Spain
Level 15
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Randy Spain raised under the gun. One player called before the small blind pushed all in. Then Spain re-raised over the top. The initial caller though for a minute before folding pocket tens face-up. Spain turned over 
, and the all-in player 
.
After seeing Spains aces, the player who'd folded tens knew he'd made the right decision. Then the flop came 
. Spain would've been outdrawn, but with the tens safely in the muck, his aces held up as the turn and river came , 
.
After the hand, Spain had 156,000 in chips.

From 2,000 to 57,000
Level 15
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Bill McAdams started the day with just 3,400 in chips. A few hands before the money hit, he moved all in with 
. When the big blind woke up with 
he thought his day was over. He couldn't believe he spiked a river ace to double up. When the money hit shortly after, he had just 2,000 in chips remaining and thought he would be out the next hand. At that point he was just happy with the cash.
Instead of getting knocked out, McAdams had a nice run to build an average stack of 57,000. When asked how he did it, he said the cards just started to come. "I had aces twice, tens over nines and a few other big hands and I just kept doubling up. I am not going to lie, I got lucky and I am happy that I did."

Chuck Goldstein Wants His Walk
Level 15
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
The Seniors Championship here at the WSOP will never be known for bold bluffs or sneaky plays, but nobody bothered to tell Charles Goldstein.
We recently watched Goldstein, who goes by Chuck at the table, sitting in the big blind while the action folded around to the player seated on his left. Jokingly asking for a walk, Goldstein saw the small blind call, and his reaction was immediate and decisive.
"I'm all in," declared Goldstein, pushing his stack forward with authority.
Squeezing the 
and holding it up for the table to see, the small blind player shook his head and tossed his cards to the dealer.
"That's for not giving me a walk," shot Goldstein, reveling in his boldness while revealing the lowly 
with a flourish. "Next time maybe I'll get a walk."
