Kroon Wins Big Pot With 4th Pair

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

We got to the table with all the cards dealt and the board showing {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and approximately 25,000 in the middle. Arun Chugani put out a large bet of 16,400 and his lone opponent in the hand, Mark Kroon, counted out the call in one hand and looked over at Chugani.

"Will you show me if I fold," he asked.

"Definitely," said Chugani, his cards held up from the table ready to be turned over. "You're my friend."

Apparently this was enough for Kroon, who placed the calling chips into the middle.

"You got me," said Chugani as he turned over {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Kroon said "I have a pair of sixes" and proudly tabled {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} drawing admiration from his opponent and the rest of the table.
