Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Mark Kroon was in the blinds and facing a raise from the opponent on his immediate left. Kroon made the call and grabbed 550 in chips and said "if I hit any part of the flop this is my bet."

The dealer put out a flop of {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Kroon placed those chips into the middle. His opponent made the call. The turn was the {6-Spades} and Kroon quickly said "I check" and his opponent put out a bet of 550. Kroon wasted no time in check-raising to 2,000 total causing some consternation from his opponent.

"Lotta flushes out there," said Kroon, a smile on his face as he looked at his foe. His opponent eventually made the call leading Kroon to say "might be some of the best acting I've ever seen."

The river was the {7-Diamonds} and Kroon grabbed the rest of his chips, approximately 7,000, and stated that he was all in. His opponent wasted little time in folding and Kroon mucked his hand while telling his opponent "good laydown." He then looked back, adding "there's something for you to write about."
