Kroon Cracks Aces to Eliminate Nguyen
Kennii Nguyen opened for 50,000 only to have Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon three-bet to 220,000. Nguyen responded by moving all in and Kroon snap-called, revealing a bit of a cooler hand.
Showdown
Kroon: 
Nguyen: 
We heard Kroon say something about the kings of hearts, as if trying to will it on the flop. That made it all the more amazing when the flop came down 
. Kroon had cracked his opponent's aces and took a commanding lead. The 
turn left Nguyen looking for an ace on the river, but it was not meant to be as the 
blanked.
Kroon chipped up to 1.75 million while Nguyen was eliminated in 27th place. Interestingly, Kennii Nguyen and Kenny Nguyen were both eliminated from this Main Event after having their pocket rockets cracked.
