The players are on their last break in the evening.
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.
Showdown
Kroon: 
Wright: 
Kroon was in a dominating spot and primed to take down the 1.1 million pot after the 
flop. However, the 
spiked on the turn to give Wright a pair of aces and leave P0ker H0 drawing to a king on the river. The 
was not it, and Wright held on to double.
Level 25
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
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.

A player in early position raised to 50,000 and found a caller in Mike Scarborough from the cutoff. When the flop came down 
, the EP player bet 50,000, Scarborough called, and the 
hit the turn. This time EP checked and Scarborough bet, putting out five light blue T25,000 chips.
His opponent made the call and then checked the 
river. Scarborough gathered some more light blue chips and slide out a bet of 250,000. The EP player though for about 40 seconds before making the call.
"Nice call," Scarborough admitted as he revealed 
for a missed straight. The EP player showed 
to take down the pot.
The staff here at Pokernews, the WSOP floor staff and the good people of the Horseshoe Hammond alongside Michael Hallen would like to give a big hello to Mrs. Hallen, Michael's mother.
"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.
Showdown
Hebda: 
Stelatos: 
We'd like to say there was some excitement and suspense, but the 
put an end to any of that. The turn and river were inconsequential as Stellatos exited the tournament floor; meanwhile, Hebda is up to about 1.8 million.
