Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon opened for 58,000 only to have Todd Wright move all in from the cutoff for 542,000. After the blinds got out of the way, Kroon snap-called and shot out of his chair.

Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon was in a hand with another opponent. They were at the flop of , Kroon checked and his opponent bet 200,000.
Kroon was beside himself with the bet. He stood up from the table, consolidated his two drinks, did a lap around his chair all before he announced all in. He wandered so far away that the dealer had to call him back and tell him he had to stay close to the table.
"If I fold will you show me?" his opponent asked.
"Absolutely not. There is zero percent chance I show," Kroon replied.
After his opponent mucked Kroon lifted his cards just to us (Pokernews staff). The rail cheered for him to show and he said no.
Then he tossed his cards face up on the felt.
Being a math major is not a requirement for a Pokernews reporter but we're pretty sure we know what zero percent means.

"Payout, Table 3," was all we heard from across the room. By the time we made our way over, the cards had been swiped and Josh Brikis was waiting for the floor to escort him to the payout desk. We tried to get the details, but no one was anxious to volunteer. Whatever the hand, Brikis has been eliminated in 34th place and will take home $8,365.
Joe Hebda opened the pot with a raise and was soon met with an all-in three-bet to 203,000 total by Paul Stellatos. Hebda made the call and it was off to the races.
