"Good Turn Card For Your Hand?"

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Todd Tooley and Scott Ball put in 6,000 apiece from the cutoff and button, respectively, on a flop of {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. The turn came a {4-Diamonds} and Tooley checked with Ball staring him down. Ball bet 7,000. Tooley came back with 25,000, enough to put Ball all in, and he folded.

"Good turn card for your hand?" he asked.

"I don't even know if I liked the turn," Tooley said.

Two More Joiners; Bonacci Doubles Through Kroon

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Mark Kroon bet about 2,700 from the button after a couple of players checked to him on an {8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop. Frank Bonacci shoved all in, and Kroon snapped him off for 23,400 total.

Kroon: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Bonacci: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Bonacci needed a club and hit not one but two as the {6-Clubs} and {7-Clubs} hit the felt.

Meanwhile, Scott Ball and Ryan Van Sanford have sat in.

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Mark Kroon
Mark Kroon

Nick Yunis and Mark Kroon got in a raising war on a board of {10-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, with Yunis putting in 17,300 and Kroon clicking back to 26,650. Yunis called and the river was a {5-Spades}. Kroon announced all in and Yunis snap-called. Kroon confidently moved to show his cards, and that was because he had the nuts: {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Yunis showed {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and pushed his stack in.

Kroon had around 36,000 and that covered Yunis, who looked to have around 30,000.

The players are now on break.

Kroon Shows a Bluff

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Nacho Barbero opened on the button and got calls from both blinds. They checked to him on a {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Spades} flop, and only small blind Mark Kroon called. Both checked the {10-Clubs}, and Kroon came out with 4,200 on the {10-Spades} river. Barbero thought awhile and folded.

Kroon flicked {7-}{5-} into the middle and raked in the pot.

Tooley's Third Bullet Chases Kroon

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Mark Kroon checked dark from early position, saying he needed a wheel as he and Todd Tooley headed to a {j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop. Tooley bet 5,000 from the button and Kroon called. Kroon check-called 10,000 more on the {q-Hearts} turn, and a {10-Diamonds} completed the board. Kroon thought awhile and checked once again. Tooley fired 20,000 this time, and Kroon thought briefly and folded.
