We found this hand developing with Mark "P0kerH0" Kroon in the big blind and Carl Horvath in the cutoff. Horvath had raised and Kroon reraised an unkown amount. Horvath was deep in the the tank, with only a 16,000 behind. Horvath stood up from his seat and muttered to something to himself. Kroon had earphones in and took them out to see what he was saying.
After another long pause Kroon called the clock on Horvath and Horvath almost instantly announced all in.
Kroon leaned back and said, "Oh, I wish I had a hand right now. I bet your glad I didn't snap call, huh?"
Kroon hemmed and hawed and tossed in the call.

The board ran and Horvath had quite a scare while doubling up.
Action folded to an unknown player in the hijack and he limped, which Matt Kirby mimicked from the cutoff. The small blind came along for the ride, the big blind check his option, and it was three handed to the flop. Both the small and big blinds checked, the hijack bet 2,500, and only Kirby made the call.
When the paired the board on the turn, the hijack applied even more pressure with a bet of 6,000. Kirby didn't take long to concede the hand, opting to preserve his stack of about 90,000.
We don't know how we missed him for so long, but we just discovered Aaron Bieck in the field. He is the man who took down Event #1 here in Hammond for $124,438 after clearing a field of 3,001 players. Not too shabby for a $350 buy-in event.
Though John Evans' friend, Jennifer Parrish, was dubbed the "Short Stack Ninja" at the Circuit stop in Southern Indiana, Evans is looking to take the nickname from her. A short while ago he had only three big blinds and now he has worked his way up to above the starting stack.
Preston Durden, who had been nursing a short stack much of the day, recently stopped by our desk and informed us that he had met his demise. It came when he got all in pre flop with and was called by a player holding and another with .
With a chance to triple, Derden watched the flop fall , giving him an open-ended straight draw. Much to his delight, a on the turn completed that straight and gave him a great chance to survive the hand. Unfortunately for him, the peeled off on the river to put three spades on the board and give his one opponent the nut flush.
We found this hand as the dealer was counting out a bunch of chips for a double up next to a pile of chips in the pot already. We saw that one player held and Yanda held . The board read and Yanda doubled up to over 140,000.
Even though the Chicago Cubs have a long standing rivalry with the Cardinals, there are plenty of redbird fans in the room. The World Series game is being shown on the 20 foot high screen in the room. Half the field just exploded as Albert Pujols hit a monster three-run homerun.
After Kyle Cartwright's table was broke, we lost track of the young WSOP-Circuit superstar. We decided to track him down in the field, but after going through the room table by table, we were unable to find him. That leads us to believe that Cartwright has been eliminated from the Main Event.
A short stacked John Evans moved all in from the cutoff but did not find a caller. Maybe it was because his friend Jennifer "Short Stacked Ninja" Parrish offered him her luck. Evans declined and told here she was the "black cat ninja."
He collected the blinds and antes and has chipped up to 14,500.
