Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Mark Kroon smiled as he told us how it's not often he gets to sit next to his mother at a poker table in a tournament. His Mom, Marilyn Guess, whom he says is affectionately referred to as "Mama Ho" (a take off of Kroon's "Poker Ho" moniker), is holding her own today with 50,000 in chips as we head into the last few levels of play tonight.
"This is her ninth time in Aruba. My ninth time too," Kroon told us. The mother and son duo take the PPC term "poker-cation" literally. The only thing better would be for the two to both make the final table.
